14 15 MAKING EDGE-TO-EDGE JOINTS See Figures 9 - 10. Edge-to-edge joinery is one of the most basic and easily- constructed joints. n Unplug the biscuit joiner. n Prepare the workpieces by laying them side by side on a workbench in the order in which they will be as- sembled.
14 15 OPERA TION BUTT JOINTS A butt joint is made by mating the end grain of one board with the edge grain of another . The bonding of glue on this type of surface is poor . However , by using biscuits you can create a str ong joint that gives a mortise-and-tenon effect.
16 17 Fig. 13 OPERA TION T - JOINTS See Figure 13. A T -joint is used when the end of a board is joined to the face of another board as shown in figure 12. Attaching shelves to bookcases and inner support braces to frames are typical applications. Actual cutting of a T -joint is as simple as any other cut.
16 17 OPERA TION CUTTING VERTICAL BOARDS See Figures 16 - 17. n Unplug the biscuit joiner. n Loosen the locking knob and set the fence angle at 0°. n Set th e fence he ight at the desi red dim ensio n on the sca le by rotating the height adjustment knob.
18 19 MITER JOINTS See Figures 18 - 21. There ar e two types of miter joints that can be made using biscuits: flat miters and edge miters. Flat miters are used when making picture frames. Edge miters are used when making boxes or things where you don’t want to show the end grain of the wood.
18 19 MAKING EDGE MITER JOINTS See Figures 19 - 21. n Unplug the biscuit joiner. n Place the pieces of wood to be joined on a level work- bench. n Mark the centerline of the joint on each board. n Whe n mak ing edge mit er jo ints with wor kpie ces t hat have different thicknesses, clamp the pieces securely to a workbench with the long sides up.
