    Smile Biscuit Jointer Basics

    Can anyone here point me towards a resource that tells you how to use a biscuit jointer?

    A mate of mine gave me his biscuit jointer when he purchased a Festool Domino system.

    I am looking for anything which will point me in the right direction to ensure that I get the most out of it. I am happy to buy a decent book on the subject, if anyone recommends it.

    I've also seen a couple of posts on other forums about jigs for biscuit jointers and was curious if anyone here had any recommendations for or against jigs.

    Thanks,

    Craig

    There is a book called "Biscuit Joiner Basics" by Hugh Foster published by Sterling Publishing Co, New York. ISBN is 0-8069-0860-2

    There are probably others as well
    Hope that helps

    Talking Books & Resources

    Thanks for suggesting that book. I looked at [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Biscuit-Joiner-Basics-Hugh-Foster/dp/0806908602/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311067188&sr=8-1ref=sr_1_1ie=UTF8&qid=1311067188&sr=8-1"]the review on Amazon[/ame], and that was a big surprise.

    I've decided to pick up a couple of the other recommended books:

    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Success-Biscuit-Joiners-Woodworking/dp/1861084315/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311067463&sr=1-1"]Success with Biscuit Joiners[/ame]


    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Biscuit-Joiner-Project-Book-Woodworking/dp/1558705929/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311067188&sr=8-2"]The Biscuit Joiner Project Book: Tips & Techniques to Simplify Your Woodworking Using This Great Tool [/ame]


    And I also found this jig to help me out, which should put me in good stead.

    Has anyone else got any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Craig
