HOW TO MAKE EDGE MITER JOINTS
Unplug your plate joiner.
Place the pieces of wood to be joined on a level
workbench as shown in figure 17.
Mark centerline of the joint on each board.
When making edge miter joints with workpieces that
have different thicknesses, clamp securely to a
workbench with the long sides up. This will assure that
the outside surfaces will match.
See Figure 18.
Loosen height adjusting knobs and set fence angle at
135
°
.
Slide the fence up or down until fence height is at
desired setting.
Tighten height adjustment knobs securely.
Place your plate joiner on workpiece with the adjustable
fence resting on the long side of workpiece as shown in
figure 18. The base or vertical fence should be against
the mitered edge of the workpiece.
Recheck fence height setting to make sure it will not cut
through the workpiece.
Align indicator mark on fence with the centerline on the
workpiece. Make sure the base or vertical fence is
pressed flat against the mitered edge of the workpiece.
Plug your plate joiner into power supply and prepare to
cut slot.
Depress the switch trigger to turn the power on your
plate joiner, then push it forward to extend the blade into
the wood.
When the base assembly bottoms out against the depth
of cut adjustment knob setting, pull back releasing
pressure on the spring. Blade will retract from biscuit
slot.
Repeat this procedure for cutting mating slot and all
required miter joint slots.
OPERATION
Align indicator mark on fence with the centerline on the
workpiece.
Plug your plate joiner into power supply and prepare to

Depress the switch trigger to turn the power on your plate
joiner, then push it forward to extend the blade into the

pressure on the spring. Blade will retract from biscuit slot.
Repeat this procedure for cutting mating slot and all
required miter joint slots.
Once all slots have been cut, place a biscuit in each joint
and dry assemble the workpieces. Make sure each joint
lines up and fits.
Finally, disassemble the workpieces and place a bead of
glue in each slot. Also, spread a bead of glue over the
entire surface of the joint. Reinsert the biscuits and
assemble the workpieces.
See Figure 16.
Clamp workpieces together until the glue sets up.
