Dowels are great, but biscuits are so much easier to align.


I've never use biscuts. A long time REAL woodwooker friend of mine ranted
and raved about them when they came out. At that time he said the machine
was real expensive. That was a bit ago. I suppose by now they are
reasonable.


You can get 'em for under a $100, although my DeWalt cost a bit more
than that.

I'd be hard pressed to locate my doweling jig and centers if I ever
came up with a reason to use a dowel for joining again.

With the biscuit joiner, alignment is done with a couple of free hand
pencil marks on the pieces to be joined. Butt joints, T-joints, even
45's can be done in a matter of a few short minutes.
