A biscuit joiner is an instrument that joins pieces of wood together. A saw blade cuts through the wood to insert the biscuits. These biscuits expand when the glue is applied to them. Most commonly, a biscuit joining tool is used for edge-joining boards. Norm Abram glues together his panels with a cookie joiner.
If you're making cabinets with biscuit joiners, you can make grooves for most sizes of biscuits. Most biscuits are available in sizes of 1-3/4"x5/8". A smaller biscuit jointer with a blade of 2 inches is best for small projects. A biscuit joiner can be used to make cabinet faces. This will strengthen the weak end-grain joints. You should choose a larger size if you intend to use the biscuit joiner in a large-scale construction.
Use a biscuit jointer by aligning the biscuit jointer with your layout line. Make sure that it is flush with the board's surface. It will begin to bulge slightly after the glue has dried. The biscuit joiner should be placed on the face frame so that it is properly aligned with the board. Push the biscuit joininger until it stops.
The main advantage of using a biscuit joiner is that it is easy to make the joints, which are strong and solid. However, biscuit joints are not as strong as conventional joinery. While they might not be ideal for heavy-duty jobs, they can still be used to build cabinets. It is also very easy to use, and completely hidden. A biscuit joiner is available in both thick and thin wood.
