“DOUBLE” BISCUITS

The alignment plate may also be used as a spacer to produce a groove that is wide enough to accept two biscuits. After cutting a groove (or a group of grooves), in the normal fashion: install the alignment plate and repeat the cuts. This will double the width of each groove so that two biscuits can be installed in each groove.
