E. Clamp the second workpiece, align the tool and make the plunge
cut.
F. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
5. EDGE MITER JOINTS (SEE FIGURE 24)
Edge miters are most commonly used in box structures or for
making multisided pedestals where you would like to hide the
end grain. Once again, biscuit joinery is an outstanding method
to use both for added strength as well as ease of assembly. Follow
the steps below to assemble a 90° joint.
A. Position the workpieces as they are to be assembled and
layout biscuit locations on the outside of the joint.
B. Set up tool by first setting fence angle to 90°. Make the fence
adjustment such that the biscuit is located toward the inside of
the joint where the material is thicker, then select the biscuit
size so that the blade does not protrude through the outside
wall when the cut is made (see Figure 25).
C. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in column in
Figure 26.
D. Turn on the tool and make the plunge cut.
E. Glue, assemble and clamp the joint.
F. For joints other than 90° see outside registration column Figure
27 for proper fence angle setting.
The above method will produce a joint where the outside surfaces of
the joint are aligned. If you wish to produce a joint where the inside
surfaces are aligned, use the following procedures for a 90° joint.
A. Position workpieces as they are to be assembled.
B. Layout biscuit locations on the inside of the angle.
C. Set up tool by setting fence angle to 45°. Set vertical fence
adjustment so that the biscuit is located toward the inside of the
joint where material is thicker. Select biscuit size so that
the blade does not protrude through the outside face of
the material.
D. Clamp the workpiece and align the tool as shown in Figure 28.
