Usually the fence would climb as much as 1/8.” I did try holding the height adjustment knob while tightening the lock, but this didn’t help much. I don’t use a joiner much, but would rather have no joiner as opposed to one that I’m not happy with and have to fight with to adjust settings. This joiner comes with a case, dust bag, and sample biscuits just like the Ryobi from HD. The Ryobi has a 2 year warranty, the Craftsman model only comes with a 1 year warranty.

Does craftsman make a biscuit joiner?
This Craftsman corded plate joiner connects 2 pieces of wood for a perfect picture frame or tabletop. Easier than using a dowel, this tool cuts matching slots in the wood to fit 3 common biscuit sizes with absolute precision. The pieces are then glued together for a strong bond you can trust.
Are biscuit joiners worth it?
