The one advantage that I can see with a false tongue, over biscuits,
is a larger surface area for the glue.


Biscuits leave more of the edge timber available for glue. The idea is they
hold the boards 'level' while the glue dries.

Even a cheap one works OK


That's good, the missus bought me a cheap one many xmas's ago. Maybe
time to dust off the box.
