  • It's a well designed, well-made 5/5 tool
I have limited need for a biscuit joiner and started out with a Wen... big mistake. I decided quality and reliability was worth more than a low price, so I got this. It works flawlessly. All indications are that it will last for years and years like my other Makita tools.

  • Works great
I like it. Easy to handle, easy to use. Only dislike I have is the bag doesn't stay at the angle you put it, it drops down. It still works.

  • Works as it should.
Does every thing a plate joiner should and well built Makita quality . This replaced an older porter cable plate joiner that just got worn out over the years (15+). I just couldn’t justify the Festool domino system which is super cool stuff but not $1500 + cool. Festool is for the pro who can afford it and justify the cost by production needs. I’m a semi pro DIY GUY so I use the plate joiner a lot and the cost is around $200 and I’ve not had any joints fail yet so it’s way more cost effective for me. Either way they both have their place. If I wad rich and just wanted the best and cost wasn’t a consideration Festool is a no brainer. ... show more

  • Does what it needs to do
I use this for glue ups where a domino would be overkill; where I need alignment, but not any extra strength. Works fine. Cuts accurate, tight fitting, biscuit slots. Good dust extraction when used with an extractor; managing the hose can be awkward.

  • High quality if you know what you're doing
Like other Makita products, this is a great tool with top-notch workmanship that looks like it will outlive me. Definitely want to make that clear - in a pros hands, I'm sure this little plate joiner is capable of amazing quality. At the same time, I admit I'm not the world's greatest woodworker. For many years I've been doing joints with wooden dowels and a doweling jig instead of biscuits. It takes time and patience, and you need to be precise if you want everything to line up perfectly, so I thought I'd switch to a plate joiner and biscuits. For whatever reason, I thought I could take any two pieces of wood, put a few slots in them, glue some biscuits in, and be done in a quarter the time with better results. Yes and no. First, the tool makes most of the process drop-dead easy - you adjust it for the size and depth of biscuits you want to use, and it's pretty much foolproof actually cutting the pockets. Definite thumbs up to Makita for this part, but much to my disappointment, after my first few uses, I found that the two pieces of wood I joined didn't quite align as well as I had hoped - the two pieces were out of alignment by maybe 1/32". Simple enough to fix, but disappointing nonetheless. Thus, I'm working on my technique, and I'm sure I'll get to the point where I can make a perfect joint, but I'm finding it's really no easier than the doweling jig I had been using, and I suspect most of the biscuits out there aren't going to result in as strong a joint, even once I get it happening perfectly. I'll be the first to admit this is a case of an amateur thinking she was going to get a certain outcome without the experience or knowledge to really know for sure. Guilty as charged, and to be clear, the tool itself is high quality - soon as the human being on the other side of the tool comes up to speed, I'm sure it will be great. ... show more

  • Should have bought this sooner
This is my third biscuit joiner. The two previous models (Ryobi and Wen) both had plenty of vertical play in the carriage that slides the the blade into and out of the work piece, meaning the kerf of each cut seemed to vary depending on how steadily I was able to hold the tool during operation. This model has zero play in the carriage. The blade change procedure is super simple. It feels and operates like a well-built tool. It also comes with a very robust storage case. ... show more

  • She's a beauty! Great way to join 2 pieces of wood! Beats Kreg Jig!
Best Biscuit Joiner! If you need to glue two big pieces of lumber together this is the tool to use! Stronger than nails, prettier than screws! Bought this and the Kreg HD Jig to have two alternatives for putting 2x4's together for a work bench I'm building. Feedback for Makita: Love that it is Japanese Engineered and USA assembled. The attention to detail is good, but here is where you can improve... The two plastic levers are replaceable, but should be metal! The depth guage with 6 settings is IMPOSSIBLE to read. Raised small lettering on chrome is no good! Use the debossed red line method for the dial too. Use color coding for biscuit sizing - I ended up using finger nail polish dots to coordinate with my 3 air tight jars of biscuits. The S, D and Max are meaningless. D looks like the 0! Put a depth chart next to the dial. 0-8mm, 10-10mm, 20-12.3mm, S-13mm, D-14.7mm, Max-20mm. Design the wrench to fit inside the handle instead of the tool case. Tool case too small. Forces cord to bend and the most vulnerable place. I suspect this is where a lot of cords will eventually break. Like that the dust port is replaceable but look at using larger standard PVC elbow joints to improve dust collection (sawdust is cancer causing in California P65). Sawdust bag can't be on tool when putting into the case. Means users without dust collectors will likely skip using the case :( PLEASE include some sample 0,10,20 biscuits in a sealed bag with desiccant. Also include a sample wood glue tube. You should be able to get free samples from manufacturers. Like the spare blade storage! Case has a plastic fence (set plate) that you use for cutting biscuits in thin pieces of wood. Any chance you can spell out min and max sizes you can join? Design the manual so I can easily pull out the other language sections I don't want and toss. Design the manual so it fits in the storage section of the case (trim a couple inches either side). ... show more
