Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT 6.5-Amp Biscuit Joiner

Perfect Tool for Wood Working Projects

Outstanding tool with a multitude of settings needed to do the job right the first time. Turn select knob for biscuit sizes 0, 10 or 20, and angle adjustment are great features and make it easy to use. Cord length is good and tool components are made from high impact materials which should make it last for years. Remember to use the provided debris collection bag as this is a powerful tool that shoots the shavings out pretty far. Will certainly save clean up time as I learned quickly. Recomm...

Great biscuit joiner

Another great product from DeWalt. Easy to use adjustments and operation. Could not possibly recommend another brand more than I would recommend DeWalt. Buy it once, keep it forever.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this joiner for a project. Easy to use and exactly what I needed. I would recommend this product.

easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this joiner rather than tongue and groove with my router. It makes small projects simple and easy.

Helps with joining large pieces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to help join up a large circular table. It is pretty straight forward. Although I don't believe the rail is square to the plate. Almost every time I use it I have one biscuit that doesn't align. Maybe it's me.

Biscuit Joiner

Used it to make a bartop. Joined the wood very well

Very good product.

Bought this for a big project I was doing. Worked exactly as it should. Can’t believe I never bought one sooner. Welcome addition to my shop.

Good tool with a flaw

First let me say my shop is full of DeWalt tools and I find them to be very good overall. I used my new Plate Joiner today for the first time and had no issues with baking the joints. However, I found the dust collection system was absolutely worthless. After one plunge it clogged up and nothing went in the bag. That is why I did not rate it higher. You need to do some work on that!

sloppy fence yields uneven cuts

I own six other Dewalt tools and have been happy with all of them. This one I was not happy with. The angle adjustment for the fence is only on the left side leaving the right side unsupported. It also appeared that the pivot point on the right side of the fence was sloppy. This caused the right side of the fence to flex upward making the right side of the cut lower by 0.015". With the opposite side of your biscuit being lower on the other end the joint took on an X configuration. I used a...

Worked great for about five board.

I bought this for my husband three days ago and it worked great for about five boards, then the adjustment thing popped off and would not go back on easily at all. It has since continued to come off so we are going to take back and buy a different brand. My husband is very familiar with these tools and uses them frequently but has had them given to him from his father so being the first one he’s actually purchased is kind of disappointing, usually Dewalt has pretty good tools.

Joiner Novice

Bought the DeWalt biscuit joiner after a lot of on-line research. It appeared to be the best one in it's price range. It is my first time purchasing/using a biscuit joiner. I have made a few practice cuts and used it on connecting the slats on a bourbon barrel head in the process of making a lazy susan (photo of unfinished project included). So far so good. The only negative in the reviews I read, which I experienced myself, is that the neck of the dust collector does tend to clog quickly if you...

Awesome tool!!

I am so pleased that I finally made myself by to get that plate joiner. Already used it. It makes putting wood together so much easier. Love it

Great tool, overlooked design criteria

You should be proud that you have found a second application for the 4 1/2" grinder motor. I own roughly 30 DeWALT tools, corded and cordless, and very much enjoy them all for their usefulness and durability. I have been updating to Li Ion tools of late. As a plate joiner you may have overlooked the design issue of the motor cooling slots. The vent slots direct the air flow directly into the eyes of the operator when aligning the tool to cut the biscuit slot. I was wearing safety glasses but t...

Good tool

I received this tool as a B-day gift from my daughter. I did some online reveiws and told her this would help me complete woodworking projects. I was correct. This tool is very easy to use and does an excellent job. The only complaint is the dust collector plugs up easily.

Very good joiner

Professional grade joiner, after resetting the cut depth & Gage as it was off from the factory this tool is excellent.
