What is a "biscuit jointer"?
A biscuit jointer, also known as a plate joiner, is a woodworking tool used to create precise, small slots in two pieces of wood. These slots are designed to hold a small, oval-shaped wooden piece called a biscuit, which helps align and strengthen the joint between the two pieces of wood. The biscuit jointer uses a rotating blade to cut the slot, and the biscuit is then glued into the slot on both pieces of wood. This tool is commonly used for making strong, durable joints in furniture making, cabinetry, and other woodworking projects.
