DeWalt 20V CORDLESS BISCUIT JOINER (BARE)

The tool itself is well designed and meets the quality I would expect from DeWalt. I've used it on several projects already and it's works great. The adjustments are intuitive and the knobs are easy to tighten and untighten. I have found it works "better" with a 5 Ah battery than a 3 Ah battery so keep that in mind if you have both in your battery collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This biscuit joiner does what it was intended for very well, on par with its corded counterparts easily. I was shocked that dust collection did so well, this literally left no mess and could use indoors at the project piece. I know most people have replaced biscuits for pocket holes now, but if youre looking for a true seemless hidden joinery method this is the true craftsman method a professional will use. This is a much stronger joint but there is a learning curve, so practice up and you will be a pro in no time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions of the DCW682 is how well balanced the tool is. I was worried that it would be hard to control and be very front heavy but even with a 1.7ah power stack the tool felt great even one handed if necessary. It was accurate right out of the box, All I had to do was measure my wood thickness set the gauge to half of the total thickness and select my biscuit size. The center line of the biscuit is clearly marked with notches in the casting with red paint to help it stand out. Depth adjustment is just a simple turn knob with detents to set the depth for the standard #0, #10 and #20 biscuits. The angle and depth gauges are easy to read and have nice arrows to dial the took in. Plunge pressure is stiff but in a good way that makes you feel more secure with the tool and prevents any kick or movement. I'll be using this for many projects to come next on the list is a toy box for my son!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one handy little tool. I started out to build a table and ended up joining 4' x 4" posts to make a frame for my throwing knives. This tool made that possible and completely effortless. I bypassed hours of drilling and fastening with screws, once these were glued and joined the frame holds everything together fantastically. I'm so impressed that I cannot wait to start another project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a necessity for furniture, to correctly aligned boards, this is the tool that is needed. This biscuit joiner will save you a tremendous amount of time with less plaining and sanding by keeping boards aligned in the glue-up stage. The portability is a huge bonus to not have to worry about running extension cords. The bag catches most of the saw dust, so not much clean up is needed after use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tool is lightweight, easy to operate and overall user friendly. No need to run extension cords and can easily swap batteries with my other tools. Great addition for a cordless option. Awesome performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to to join some 1" cedar boards and it was very easy to use and cut very well. The ability to not need to plug in is also very nice. I ran this tool with a 6ah flexvolt battery and didn't notice any change in performance over approximately 50 cuts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tool works great and just as advertised. The power of a corded tool with out the corded. On less thing to plug in. Perfect for the contractor or the hobbies. Will definitely getting slot of use this winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This tool is fantastic! Super glad to replace my other one! I am very pleased with the ease of use and how quiet it is! This tool came out of the box perfectly square and ready to use immediately.

I liked it, worked well. But I don't know why the handle is on the body instead of the fence, like the corded Porter Cable? It's only useful as a carry handle in that position. Fortunately there is a place at the front for a thumb to hold the fence in position. I'd definitely buy a replacement for this one. But if they put the handle on the fence I would have two.
