Meegs666 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 i saw a good deal on ebay for a biscuit jointer. i dont know what it is but somebody has said to me that i need one for doing the sides of my neckthru. here is the jointer. do you think this would work for preparing my guitar to be glued? also here is a trim router. would this be suitable for routing out my pickup cavities and binding ledge?

www Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I think you need a jointer not a biscuit jointer. I don't know about the trim router, but it sounds like it is more for trimming than routing. I would keep looking for a router or plunge router, but wait for more answers. Somone here will know more about the trim router than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxslipknot Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 one thing is for sure tho u dont need biscuits for the wings of your neckthrough just a nice pair of clapms and some good glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 A biscuit jointer simply cuts aligned slots in panel edges for biscuits to facilitate glue-up. It won't actually mill the edge of a board straight like a table jointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
