Biscuit joiner problems

Wow, with over 3/4" to plane and/or sand down, I guess you really don't have to worry about lining up the board surfaces...

13/16"?

I think he just left out a comma:

I surface my table stock 13/16", proud (by 1/16" or so) and don't sweat trying to line...

Why would you not sweat trying to (or actually) lining up?

We have 3 dewalt units and one of them has been this way since for ever. I don't see any way to adjust it. Junk!

Precision is the reason that I use a slot cutter and a router table. With the piece flat on the table when the slot is cut, gives far better precision that a biscuit.

If you do the proper setup you can get precision and speed on the table.
