Complete Biscuit Joiner

Shopsmith Biscuit Joiner - the Better Way to Join Boards  

    

        Most woodworkers agree... biscuit joiners produce stronger, tighter     joints than dowels... and allow you to achieve those benefits with     greater ease and speed.  

    The Shopsmith version of this amazing tool is both simpler to use and     more affordable than its portable electric counterparts. Just set your     Mark 7 or Mark V up in drill press position, slip the joiner's     blade arbor over your quill shaft, tighten its housing around your quill     collar and you're set to go.  

    It's fully adjustable for #'s 0, 10, and 20 biscuits and (unlike most     portable units) includes a built-in dust collection hook-up to help you     keep your shop clean.  

        A quick turn of the depth stop set screws adjusts the joiner for the     correct size biscuit, while the two sharp pointed positioning pins and     the non-slip surfaces keep your workpiece from slipping during slot     cutting.  

    The Facts About Biscuits Strength  

    The highly compressed beechwood    biscuits start swelling as soon as they contact the glue, creating    a super-tight fit that locks the joined boards together - permanently.    Biscuits are constructed to maximize stronger long grain gluing     surfaces, while half of a dowel's gluing surface relies on short (end)     grain surfaces for its strength.     As a result, biscuits are proven to     be stronger than dowels when you need tough, durable joinery for wood,     MDF or particleboard projects.  

    Installation  

    While dowel holes must be positioned with far more precision, biscuit     slot positioning is far less critical and far more forgiving, since     some lateral workpiece adjustment is possible during assembly.
