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.
Are biscuit joiners worth it?
Biscuits joints serve best as a quick and easy way to keep glue-up parts in alignment, and that they add appreciable pull-apart to strength joints that would be otherwise too weak to stand on their own – like butt joints and miter joints.
How thick should wood be for a biscuit joiner?
Typically, you’ll center the slot in the wood. The joiner’s base, when sitting on a flat surface, is preset to center the cut in 3/4″-thick stock.
