When determining the location of the biscuit slots, it is generally rec-
ommended to place a biscuit in the middle of the joint and additional
biscuits 6 to 10 inches from the center biscuit on each side. The biscuit
closest to the edge should be placed no less than 2 to 3 inches from
the edge (Fig 13).
For thicker workpieces, you can stack biscuits to ensure secure joints.
It is recommended that the distance from the face of the workpiece is
no less 1/4 inch and the distance between biscuits is not less than 1/4
inch (Fig 14).
