Before cutting your workpiece, make a test cut on scraps of wood, and fit them together to ensure the cut is the correct size, depth and location. Adjust the cutting depth as needed (See Setting the Cutting Depth).

This Joiner is set up to cut slots for 3 different sizes of biscuits. Use the largest size biscuit that will fit your operation, usually a workpiece 1/2" thick or larger will use the largest size biscuit (size #20).
