I recently bought the Makita 3901 biscuit joiner on Amazon after reading lots of reviews about it and others like the Porter Cable 557 and Dewalt model. The Makita on the other hand got praise for the precise depth gauge and I liked the metal fence vs the plastic on the PC. So I went with the Makita. Just curious if anyone else would care to share their experiences with the Makita 3901.
SOLD: I bought this Makita biscuit joiner in the 1990s after our magazine did a group review of these tools. While you can ask me all the questions you like about the tool, the first person to send me an e-mail that says: “I’ll take it,” gets the tool. If you don’t like the tool when you get it, I’ll be happy to refund your money if you return the tool.

What is the difference between a plate joiner and biscuit joiner?
A plate joiner is the same as a biscuit joiner and are used to create an oblong hole in two matching pieces of wood. After the joiners have created the hole, a biscuit is glued, inserted and typically clamped until the wood is dried.
