My first thought was biscuit jointer, but they're not cheap for
something I will use very sparingly.

I am wondering if a good dowelling jig might be a better investment?


Biscuit bit in a router?

I don't have a router


You sad twisted individual ;-)

But as I might be interesting in getting one, I will have a look -
ta. Never heard of those...


IME the biscuit cutters for routers are sub optimal... oh and they are
also evil! ;-)


They're fine for cutting slots using an adjustable router table.
