4. OFFSET JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 22)

You may wish to have a deliberate offset

between two workpieces. This is easily

accomplished with your plate joiner by

performing the following steps.

FIG 22

A. Arrange the workpieces as they are

to be assembled and layout the

biscuit locations.

B. Set up the tool by selecting the

proper biscuit size and adjusting the

fence angle to 90 °. Select the

workpiece that will be set back and

adjust the fence height to center the

cut within the thickness of that

piece.

C. Clamp the workpiece, align the tool

and make the plunge cut.

D. Next, adjust the fence up by an

amount equal to the desired offset.

Use the scale and pointer located

on the right side of the tool under

the fence lock knob.

E. Clamp the second workpiece, align

the tool and make the plunge cut.

F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

5. EDGE MITER JOINTS (FIGURE 23)

Edge miters are most commonly used in

box structures or for making multisided

pedestals where you would like to hide the

end grain. Once again, biscuit joinery is an

outstanding method to use both for added

strength as well as ease of assembly.

Follow the steps below to assemble a

90° joint.

FIG 23

A. Position the workpieces as they are

to be assembled and layout biscuit

locations on the outside of the joint.

B. Set up tool by first setting fence

angle to 90 °. Make the fence

adjustment such that the biscuit is

located toward the inside of the joint

where the material is thicker, then

select the biscuit size so that the

blade does not protrude through the

outside wall when the cut is made

(see Figure 24).

C. Clamp the workpiece and align the

tool as shown in Figure 25.

D. Turn on the tool and make the

plunge cut.

E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.

F. For joints other than 90 ° see

Outside Registration column in

Figure 26 for proper fence

angle setting.
