| Registered User Dedicated Member |  Cutting Biscuit slots Got a couple of routers and I can't afford a dedicated biscuit joiner. Is there an article or a set of procedures that a novice routerer can follow.

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Hi beemerbob You can do it with your router and a slot cutter or two....and it's very easy to setup and do... It can be don't on the router table or with a hand router ,with the hand router you will need to make a small jig for the base of the router.. I have a jig made up and if you want to see a snapshot just ask.  http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops.../biscuits.html ===== Quote:

| Registered User New Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Southern California First Name: Ted Posts: 9  | beemer, I use my router all the time to make slots for biscuits for doing face frame work. I used to use my plate jointer in the past but the last few years I just route one long slot on all my edges then I do have to worry bout where each biscuit will end up. 0's and 10's size biscuits I use the most for 3/4" edges. I have had the Domino for a few years and this works good as well as just as fast as a long slot cut using the router. I use the CMT slot cutters, 3/32, 1/8 and 5/32... |
