I recently bought my first biscuit joiner, a used Porter-Cable. The

I increased the depth with the fine adjustment for my first test joint
so the joint closes when dry fitting. But when I added glue to the slots
I started to wonder if I ought to cut a little deeper yet to give more
space for the glue.
How can I set the depth to the ideal, or am I worrying about something
that's not critical?

There's no concern about "space for the glue." In fact, too much
glue can cause issues. Always take the time to do a dry fit--after
the glue is applied it's too late.
Dry fit after the glue is applied? .... Hmmm, let me get back to you on
that.

OK, never mind I reread that .
