A
biscuit jointer is a great tool for making accurate wood joints quickly
and efficiently. From time to time you can end up with a misplaced slot
that won't line up with the mating side. The solution to this problem is
to glue a biscuit into the slot, let it dry, and then use a flush trim
handsaw to trim the biscuit flush. This will fill in the slot and give
you a starting point to recut the slot in the new location.
Fixing
an Misplaced Exposed Slot
If
you cut the biscuit on the exposed side of the board, you can use a
scrap piece of the same wood to fill in the slot. Simply plane the scrap
wood to the thickness of the biscuit. Then trace the shape of the
biscuit onto the wood and cut it out to make a patch. You can then glue
the patch into the slot. When it dries, cut the patch flush with the
board using a flush trim
saw.
