When are biscuits appropriate for joints?

Roland,

You sure can. . . but you must first adjust the base or sled of the tool to center on the 1/2" material.

Nobody's yet mentioned biscuit slot orientation whe it comes to edge-on panel glueups---drop the slot location slightly lower than center to preclude "telegraphing" the biscuit's location. Wait a couple days before final sanding the surface. Roger OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
