Edge joints
Using biscuit dowels to reinforce edge to edge joints , adds strength to the glued joint and ensures that the board faces lie flush on assembly . Pockets in square edged boards are cut using the right angle fence .
T-joints
T-joint pockets are cut by aligning the base of the biscuit jointer against a batten clamped across the face of the panel . The batten can also be used for transferring the biscuit centres onto matching or mating components or panels .
Mitre joints
Mitre joint pockets are easily cut by setting the fence to the mitre angle and aligning it against the inside face of the mitred timber . Alternatively for 45 ° mitre joints , the right angle fence can be fitted to the mitre fence and aligned against the outside face of the timber . IP
Biscuits
Biscuit dowels are available in 3 standard sizes , No .’ s 0 , 10 and 20 . Packs of assorted size biscuits as well as each individual size , are available in quantities of 100 or 1000 .
Corner joints
The right angle fence is also used to set the biscuit pockets the correct distance in from the edge of the workpiece to form right-angled corner joints . The same fence setting is then used to cut the pockets in the edge of the mating panel .
