In particular, the company manufactures professional-grade biscuit joiners designed for creation of the most precise and finest joints.There are certain simple but demanding tasks in woodworking which require usage of a biscuit joiner which is also known as a plate joiner. The latter is a must in making high-precision slots in the wood to perform any sophisticated hidden joinery projects. Let’s get to know about this tool in more details and highlight the best options available on the market today. This model from a well-known manufacturer of reliable entry-level tools for DIYers stands out from other models with its perfect marriage of a reasonable price and versatility for a variety of joinery and aligning jobs. Pre-set depth stops of this model allow using standard biscuits including #0, #10, and #20 sizes. The powerful 8.5 Amp motor provides rotation of a 4-inch carbide-tipped blade at 10,000 RPM. Thus, even the toughest wood can be handled by this biscuit joiner. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional woodworker or if you’re a hobbyist, chances are you’ve had a project where you wanted to join two pieces of wood together, but you didn’t want to use screws or nails because they take away from the beauty of your project. The Makita Plate Joiner (model PJ7000), combines power and precision with ease-of-use features for strong and accurate biscuit joints for furniture making, cabinet construction and fine woodworking applications.

Medium-power models will be useful in fine woodworking including cabinetry, and capable of extended running without any mishaps. They are commonly equipped with more powerful motors of 5 to 9 Amps. Thus these machines are designated for rough woodworking operations. On the contrary, biscuit joiners and routers are used for finishing purposes during production of fine joinery products or cabinetry. How to use a biscuit joiner? These joinery tools can obviously handle soft and tough woods. Besides, with the use of appropriate blade and cutting settings some advanced models are capable of dealing with soft stone, non-ferrous metals and plexiglass. Thus, in spite of its original purpose to cut slots in the mating workpieces for oval-shaped wooden biscuits; the range of work performed with this device is much wider. I would recommend this biscuit joiner as an awesome budget-friendly option ideal for the light-duty jobs and various DIY projects.

When you’re using the Makita PJ7000 Plate Joiner to create grooves for the biscuits to sit in, you’re going to create some dust and debris. Remember to wear protective goggles to save yur eyes. Instead of letting it fly around the shop, you can attach the dust bag that uses a sliding clip instead of a zipper. If you’re working on larger projects and don’t want to be bothered with emptying the bag mid-project, you can keep the bag off and just adjust the dust port toward the floor.
