The above method will produce a joint

where the outside surfaces of the joint are

aligned. If you wish to produce a joint

where the inside surfaces are aligned, use

the following procedures for a 90 ° joint.

A. Position workpieces as they are to

be assembled.

B. Lay out biscuit locations on the

inside of the angle.

C. Set up tool by setting fence angle to

45 °. Set vertical fence adjustment

so that the biscuit is located toward

the inside of the joint where

material is thicker. Select biscuit

size so that the blade does not

protrude through the outside face of

the material.

D. Clamp the workpiece and align the

tool as shown in Figure 27.

E. Make the plunge cut and repeat for

all biscuit locations.

Biscuit joining is a viable alternative to

dadoing when making a T-joint. T-joints

are most commonly used when attaching

shelves to the sides of a case. The

method described below will work if your

shelf material is at least 5/8" thick.

A.

Place the workpieces on a work

surface exactly as you will be

assembling them in the form of an

upside down "T." Mark lightly along

the joint where the top of the shelf

will go (see Figure 28). Mark biscuit

locations at the joint interface on

the shelf piece only.

FIG 28

g.

Lay the shelf down on the mating

workpiece. Clamp the two

workpieces together and to the

work surface in this position (see

Figure 29).
