Biscuit Jointer

Buying a Biscuit Joiner at UK Planet Tools

A biscuit joiner is primarily used to join wooden workpieces together. Sometimes called a biscuit jointer, this handy electric power tool is used to cut joints that enable the interlocking of two or more pieces of wood. With the help of a special type of glue, a high-quality cordless biscuit joiner can prevent any lateral movement once the pieces are joined.

If you make furniture or windows, a biscuit joiner for wood can come in very handy. But there are several options on the market — from a variety of manufacturers. That’s why we’ve put together a short guide to buying this handy tool for the best possible price.

Why Do People Use a Wood Biscuit Joiner?

You can also use dowels to connect pieces of wood together. However, using a biscuit joiner machine is often simpler and faster — as in most cases only a brief pencil mark is needed to ensure the two workpieces line up properly.

Biscuits tend to be used on plywood, fibre board, and particle board. However, you can also use them on solid wood instead of mortise and tenon joints. While not as strong, biscuits can significantly speed up the production process.

Is a Cheap Biscuit Joiner Price the Most Important Issue?

The best biscuit joiner tool is usually the one that performs the tasks you ask of it at a good price. But before you buy, check that your preferred option includes most of these features and benefits:

● A minimum of four cutting depths

● Slim and lightweight design

● An easy-grip handle

● A function that allows quick blade changes

● A rotating dust nozzle for seamless dust extraction

● Robust overload protection

● An anti-restart setting — preferably with a warning indicator

● An adjustable fence with at least three angles

● A blade cover for maximum safety

Buying the best budget biscuit joiner for your needs is not expensive at UK Planet Tools. However, if this will be your first, you might want to buy a set that includes spare batteries, a charging stand and a carry case.
