Biscuits are also used to align edges of workpieces, such as when forming a 90° angle between workpieces. The biscuit provides a quick means of getting a perfectly flush joint, while at the same time reinforcing the joint. Typically, the machine will have an adjustable fence, so it can be set on an angle for joining mitered pieces.
This allowed joints in stock as thin as 10 millimetres (0.39 in). Later a bigger tool was introduced allowing tenon sizes up to 14x140 mm, opening many carpentry use cases for the tool family. The tool series was envisioned from the beginning for high workflow efficiency, namely:
A wood moulder (American English) is similar to a shaper, but is a more powerful and complex machine with multiple cutting heads at both 90-degrees and parallel to its table. A wood shaper has only a single cutting head, mounted on a perpendicular axis to its table.
90º miter joint (pieces ready to be joined) Miter joint of two pipes A miter joint (mitre in British English) is a joint made by cutting each of two parts to be joined, across the main surface, usually at a 45° angle, to form a corner, usually to form a 90° angle, though it can comprise any angle greater than 0 degrees.
The mortise and tenon joint is an ancient joint. One of the earliest mortise-tenon structure examples dates back 7,000 years to the Hemudu culture in China's Zhejiang Province. [3] Tusked joints were found in a well near Leipzig, [4] created by early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture, and used in construction of the wooden lining of the wells. [5]
An adjustable mitre box is designed for cutting any angle from 45° to 90° degrees. Made of metal, they consist of a base, a fence , and a mechanism for supporting a backsaw at the set angle. The workpiece is held against the fence while the saw is used.
A try square or try-square is a woodworking tool used for marking and checking 90° angles on pieces of wood. Though woodworkers use many different types of square, the try square is considered one of the essential tools for woodworking. [1] The square in the name refers to the 90° angle.
It is commonly used for ripping wood (cutting it to width), crosscutting (cutting it to length), kerfing (making small cuts to bend the wood), and cutting rabbets and grooves for joints. It can also make angled bevel cuts and other wood joints. This makes the table saw a versatile and essential tool in any woodworker's workshop. [13]
