T20 biscuit
jointer
Biscuit positions are simply marked
out on the face of the timber or
board at approximately 150mm
centres. With the fences set to suit
the exact timber thickness, precision
indexing lines on the biscuit jointer
base align the blade, to ensure that
the pockets match exactly on both
joint faces.

asy to set out and just as easy
to cut, flat dowel or biscuit
jointing offers a robust and
efficient means of producing strong,
accurate joints in solid timber or
timber based boards. Particularly
useful in the construction of unit
furniture and carcassing, biscuit
jointing simply uses flat dowels of
compressed timber. Set into semicircular pockets to reinforce edge to
edge, corner, tee or mitred butt joints.
The Trend T20 biscuit jointer is a
precision power tool designed to
position biscuit dowels with great
accuracy, to ensure that all finished
surfaces and joined components are

Adjustable from 0 to 90°, the tilting

aligned accurately for mitred joints.

flush or correctly aligned. Driven by a
powerful 710 watt motor, the T20 is
fitted with a high quality 100mm
diameter x 4mm thick, 6 tooth
Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blade.
This blade produces a dowel pocket
of exactly the same width (4mm) and
circumference radius as the biscuit
dowel. When in contact with a water
based glue PVA etc, biscuit dowels
swell to further tighten and
strengthen the finished joint. The
tight precision fit of the dowel in the
pocket also helps to minimise both
the assembly and clamping times
required.

Rubber anti-slip studs prevent sideways
movement when plunge cutting the
dowel pockets.
The depth stop can be set to suit
standard biscuit sizes or alternative
recessing and grooving operations.
The base is easily removed for
cleaning and blade replacement by
simply releasing the plunge return
springs and removing the end cap.
The 100mm x 6 tooth TCT blade is easily
released or secured using the pin wrench
and spanner supplied.
