Most biscuit joiners allow for an adjustment to be made to the depth of cut in order to allow the use of multiple sized biscuits; #0, #10, and #20. All of these biscuits are the same thickness. If yours supports only one size I’d suggest consulting with the manufacturer or the manual to know the biscuit size. #20 is the most commonly used size.

If the situation calls for a biscuit slot outside of the range of your fence, simply fold it up out of the way and use a different reference surface. Using the base of most biscuit joiners as a reference will position the biscuit slot’s center 3/8” above the base, which is perfect for ¾” material. Use a consistent reference surface. If ...

18/09/2005 >> Most advice is to use the "largest biscuit possible" For strength, that's the best answer. If you are using the biscuits for alignment only, then any size will work. Take you joiner and press the face against the area of the joint and see how much the blade comes out. As long as the blade will not get closer than maybe a 1/4" to the opposite ...

13/12/2019 One of the most common uses for biscuits is edge-joining panels—say, for making a table top. Again, watching Norm Abram gluing up panels this way pushed me into buying a biscuit joiner. Eventually, woodworkers came to realize that biscuits add basically zero strength to an edge joint. Just gluing up boards edge to edge is super strong on its own.

On the other hand, deciding how many tenons to use and how to place them might be trickier.

Biscuit joining requires you to purchase biscuits plus either a biscuit joiner (they’re also called plate joiners) or an appropriate add-on for your router.

It will be more expensive though and if you’re on a tight budget then look for something that will work with ...
