Overview
The biscuit joiner is designed for the cutting and joining
of dressed timber. It provides an accurate, effective and
convenient alternative to other means of jointing such as
dowelling and can be particularly useful for edge jointing long
boards of natural wood or manufactured sheeting.
The 100mm TCT blade is plunged into the wood to the
required depth, which is pre-set depending on the biscuit to
be used.
Biscuit No. Width Length
#0 16mm 48mm
#10 20mm 52mm
#20 24mm 60mm
PVA wood glue is applied and the biscuit is inserted into
the elliptical slot that is left by the blade. As the glue sets,
the water content in the glue is absorbed into and expands
the biscuit, resulting in an extremely strong joint.
Note. You must use PVA glue designed for woodworking
applications
The adjustable fence allows the height and angle of the
blade to be positioned to suit different joint requirements.
The depth of cut can be set on the depth of cut control dial,
depending on the biscuit to be used. The joiner can also be
used to create a continuous groove, the width of which can
be increased simply by adjusting the fence up or down and
carrying out several passes.
Adjusting the cutting depth
The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the
particular size biscuit being used.
The numbers on the depth adjustment dial (0, 10 & 20)
coincide with the three most common biscuit sizes. The
letter ‘M’ stands for maximum depth capacity of the tool.
The table below indicates the cutting depth for each setting.
Depth Setting Depth of Cut
0 8mm
10 10mm
20 12mm
Max 14mm
The width of a biscuit may vary slightly due to variances in
manufacture. The blade has been designed to allow fitment
of up to the largest biscuits in the slot cut.
1. To select a depth, align the
appropriate number with the
mark on the tool’s housing
that matches with the size
of biscuit you will be using.
Rotate the depth adjustment
dial (5) to the desired position
until it “clicks” into place (fig A).
