It is very helpful to see firsthand examples of how the biscuit joiner can be used. I read the instructions that came with my joiner, and your tutorial nicely complements those instructions.

Going to buy myself a DeWalt Biscuit Joiner today! All due to your wonderful tutorial. I really needed this. Getting into carpentry little by little while working on my RV. Built an overhead cabinet, with only butt joints and pocket hole joins, and really missed a biscuit joiner for the face frame. It was so friggin hard to align everything and drill those screws into the tiny space I had in the RV cabinet! You did an exceptional job of explaining the tool, and the technique, esp the mitered join. I had so much trouble with gluing back a vintage oak frame! Too delicate to drive screws in. Should have used a biscuit. I'm deeply grateful, thank you!

What you should have explained was the reason the mark across the 2 timber faces don't have to be precipice is there is meant to be a bit of wiggle room (for alignment) AND the biscuits swell with wood glue (to become firmly embedded). Thicker timbers, you can use 2 biscuits, one above the other.
@enduringcharm
4 жыл бұрын
I think your spell check got the best of you there--"precipice" should say "perfect"? Yes, there is a little wiggle room in the alignment, perhaps an 1/8", though I've never measured it. You can also use multiple biscuits (each in their own slot) if need be. I personally don't like to rely on biscuits if great strength is needed, though. I'll use other methods such as mortise and tenon or tongue and groove if I know the joint will be under a lot of stress.

Maybe I missed what I was looking for, when you're joining 2 pieces, one on the cut edge, the other in the middle of another board, how to get the measuring set up for perfect alignment.
@enduringcharm
3 жыл бұрын
The great thing about biscuit joiners is that they make alignment super easy. Remember, when you make the cut for a biscuit you are cutting a slot for one half, or one side of the biscuit. So it's simply a matter of pushing together the two pieces of wood you are trying to join, making sure they are oriented as you want them, and making a short pencil mark across both boards. Now when you separate the two pieces you'll have a mark on each board for alignment of the tool. No measuring is usually necessary. A quick pencil mark across both boards where you want the biscuit to go and you are done. Now, if you are using biscuits to join, say, a cabinet shelf to the cabinet sides, it's the same procedure. However, you might want to mark the shelf end first, then hold up the shelf end to the cabinet side where it should go and make the corresponding mark. Or, you might choose to temporarily clamp everything in place, make your marks, and then take it all apart to cut the slots.

Thanks for this video. I wanted to make sure I got some proper tutorial on miter joints before actually screwing up my wood. As I see in certain manuals, for 15mm they recommend biscuits size 10. Does that depend on if you're using miter joints or not? Or what biscuits should I use for miter joints on a 15mm thick plate?
@enduringcharm
Жыл бұрын
Well, it depends. You'll see that the important thing is not to drive the joiner blade through the other side of your work piece. Depending on the angle of your miter joint AND depending on where you start the cut relative to the thickness of the work piece, you can use different size biscuits. So, if you have a 45 degree miter on a particular work piece and start in the middle of the board perhaps you could use a #10 biscuit, but if you have a shallower miter angle and start more toward the inside of the miter, perhaps you could use a #20 biscuit. You can unplug your joiner and experiment visually with your work piece or you can just use a piece of scrap and experiment on that with real cuts. A 15mm thick board is around 5/8" and that's not much. You might only be able to use a #0 biscuit for that. If possible I would recommend trying your cuts on some scrap first and see where you land.

It's not really that one is overall better than another, it's that each has advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. Biscuits have the advantage of being easy to align and install, for example, but the disadvantage of having a fixed width that may not work well with some applications. It's good to have multiple options available to you so that when faced with a woodworking problem you can say--Ah! This technique would be perfect in this instance.

If you do a lot of woodworking as a hobby or if you install a lot of interior trim in your home this is a tool you'll want to own. Aside from creating glue joints it's also very handy for aligning workpieces, even if you are using screws or nails. If you only do occasional woodworking or trim you may be able to do without it. You might also consider pocket hole joinery instead, which is a cheaper means of joining wood, assuming only one side will show. Here's my video on that: kzitem.info/news/bejne/qKSEn3qcmKaSmKQ

For plywood cabinets that have the back and sides hidden when installed I'll often use air-driven staples in addition to rabbets and glue or, in your case, biscuits and glue. If you don't have that option you can use screws with countersunk holes. Screws don't necessarily hold well in plywood because they tend to split the layers apart. If you used solid wood then that won't be a concern.
