Piece of cake, simply set router to depth and lock it.

Good luck.

See above.

Not to pester, but I meant lining them up laterally. I'd love to be
able to use biscuits without having to buy what for me would be a
seldom-used tool.

I haven't used a biscuit joiner, but I assume there's a straight
"fence" on it with a mark that marks the center of the biscuit. With a
round router base and a cutter that will be a good 2" behind the edge
of the base, how do you go about lining up the slots on the two mating
pieces?
