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

dry-fitting boards the biscuits bottom out before the joint closes.

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.

Uh, Allen? Read his post one more time, carefully. Feel free to move
your finger along the page and you can even move your lips if you wish. LOL!
