Basically the same thing Graphus said, but I'm pointing out that generally anything you use as a jig or support for gluing -- and specifically for the clamping blocks you're using now -- you should consider cutting a relief channel for the glue to squeeze out. It's a quick thing to do that saves a lot of headache later. | |

But I have an idea to make a T shaped one instead of a cross shape to solve the alignment problem and make it easier to keep the corners flush I'll try that next. For the glue Im thinking maybe some paste wax on the clamp will do the trick? I'll update my post with these details later when I'm not on my phone. I really wish I had a proper router table with an accurate fence. | |
| Sep 5, 2016 at 16:50 | comment | added | Jason C | Thanks. Just wanted you to know that this has not gone unappreciated, I just won't be able to give it proper attention for a day or two. Quick comments: My biscuit problem description was misleading, I'm only using one biscuit. Long story short for that Makita biscuit cutter to work with 3" or narrower pieces you have to use an attachment that essentially disables height adjustment, so the biscuit is at a fixed position and options become limited. Also those corner clamps, I made some from wood yesterday, problem there is glue sticking to clamp, and same alignment problems as... | |
