Thanks Colin It was planed oak plank straight from my wood yard so perfect fit. Temperature over the 24hrs was about 15 degrees so no issue with either of those. So I'm wondering if there is a better glue for oak

Hi I biscuit jointed and glued up some oak plank recently, clamped it overnight. 24hrs later I dropped it and 1 of the joins came apart. I used standard wood glue. Should I be using a different glue?? Thanks

Cheers jim

Hi and no all surfaces are marked so I can't do it upside down. Really? Do u think anyone would be daft enough to do that?

Good shout on the 2nd plunge mate

Thanks for that I reckon you are right

There must be a way round it?

Thanks

You might be right Johnny using the base instead of the fence hard on the bench with the workpiece clamped fast on the bench may be the way to go. Will try it in the morning

Cheers Doug I'll give that a whirl

I have Chris all good on that front, bang on 90

Yes I have the festool extractor so not that thanks

Really? A grands worth of machine and it's hit and miss wether u get a flush joint or not!? I hope not

Yeah I don't think I am raising the machine, I being super careful to keep it flat, no movement etc. Will try again though thanks

Thanks Adam That makes sense I will try that. I think that accounts for a tiny twist like in my photo. Perhaps that photo wasn't the best indicator of the issue as the joints Normally come out parallel to each other but can be up to 1mm out of flush at worst. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong...
