OVERVIEW

You have purchased a precision

woodworking tool. The function of the

plate joiner is to enable you to make

extremely strong and accurate joints in

wood and wood byproducts.

The tool works by a plunging action to

precisely cut crescent shaped slots for the

placement of flat wooden dowels or

"biscuits" like those shown in Figure 2.

The tool may be further enhanced by

some simple jigs and fixtures that can be

easily made. Some of the more common

biscuit joinery applications are shown in

Figure 3 and are discussed in detail in the
