11:00 - you forgot something very important ... how do you reference the "vertical slots" to be the correct distance in from the edge of the board? When you assembled at 11:36, you missed it by MILES !!! I realise that you mentioned using a fence or something later in the video, but it would have been good to show the technique.

@CasualDIY 2 жыл бұрын

I wasn't aiming for the dead on edge, just the general position of the two pieces. And yes you need to set up a fence for accurate positioning of the slots 👍

@theswime945 2 жыл бұрын

Great explanation as usual, thanks very much. It seems to me though that I'd be better off practicing with dowels. Haven't made any panels yet so have it all to look forward to, as soon as I can afford enough clamps... Cheers!

@CasualDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Dowels are very good, they add a tone of strength to a joint however they don't give you any wiggle room. You either get them perfect or not.

@johncoops6897 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, dowels are very difficult to align properly unless you have a very accurate (expensive) jig. The only other way is to use those little metal pin thingies that you poke into holes made in one panel, then knock the panels together to make centre-punch marks in the second panel. Even so, it's almost impossible to drill the second panel's holes perfectly so they never fit together without requiring some "oval slotting".

the biscuits are normally made of compressed birch wood when glue applied they expand, if they are to tight put them in the micro wave for a minute they will shrink if they are too loose spray a drop of water i have a dewalt but they say always reference from the base not the fence used mine now for 10 years very good I think they work well

@bobpeters5615 Жыл бұрын

How much 'play' do you get using standard cutter setting and standard biscuits. I mean can you move one panel (say) 3mm left or right, or is it like a dowel, only fits together on one position only. .

@CasualDIY Жыл бұрын

You do have some play yes. Can't say how much, at least 2mm each way I think. But it depends on settings.

Hi Tomasz another great video, thank you. What biscuits are you using as certain sites claim that Trend biscuits (what I have) do not fit correctly and only Silverline biscuits will fit?

@CasualDIY 9 ай бұрын

Any cheapest I can find on the internet. If you are not sure that they will fit then measure the blade you got (thickness wise as this must be an issue) and then see the dimensions of the biscuits

@secobaairways4585 2 жыл бұрын

Top video as usual Tomasz, I understand that this biscuit jointer isn't too expensive but why not simply use one of your routers with a suitable biscuit cutting bit?

@CasualDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Hi and thank you. Yes you can do that as well but with this dedicated tool it's just much easier and quicker. At least I find it that way. I feel with a router I got a bigger chance of making an error and I think it would take me longer to set up.

Hi, I got a whole series of basic tutorials on using a jointer, thickness planer and a whole video on milling process. A good straight joint starts with straight edges on your boards.

Sorry I missed the word biscuit there. I have seen all your vedios. It's my biscuit joiner cuts are too loos for the biscuits. Any advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks

@CasualDIY 2 жыл бұрын

@@vs77mail hmm well I'm guessing that the slot is too thick for the biscuits you are using. To solve that issue you got two options. Change the blade I your biscuit joiner to a smaller one that will accommodate the thickness of the biscuits or the other option is to try and buy thicker biscuits. However if you are referring to a problem where the slot is too wide then you just need to adjust the depth stop on the machine.

@johncoops6897 2 жыл бұрын

If the biscuits are too loose in the slots, simply spray the biscuits lightly with water and let them swell a bit fatter before assembly.
