BiscuitSlot Plate

BiscuitSlot Plate is an offline-first biscuit-joiner bench card for cabinetmakers, face-frame builders, panel glue-up crews, and serious DIY joiners. Lock real joint type, stock thickness, biscuit size (#0 / #10 / #20), and slot count before the plate joiner leaves the bench. Cold start opens a fullscreen biscuit-size workbench—not a notes list. Choose the joint family (edge, miter, T-joint, frame corner, shelf dado-assist), set the thickness band, accept or override the recommended biscuit size, and get a glanceable cut card with size, count, centerline offset, and fence height on one locked face. KEY FEATURES • Fullscreen bench card: joint family, stock thickness, biscuit size, slot count, centerline offset, and fence height together • Joint-length slot planner that spaces biscuits from the ends and along the glue line, with editable min-edge and center-spacing rules • Thickness-to-size recommender with manual override and clear reason chips (too thin for #20, prefer #10, and similar guidance) • Joint family presets: edge glue-up, miter frame, T-butt, corner butt, and shelf dado-assist with sensible default spacing • Per-plate cut summary: biscuits required, spare count, size mix for mixed joints, and total slots to plunge • Saved plate library with project name, species/stock note, joint length, and last-used timestamp—fully offline • Seed demo plates (maple edge 600 mm, oak face-frame rail, plywood carcass shelf) so first launch shows a finished card immediately • Quick mm/inch toggle on the active card without leaving the workbench • Compare strip: side-by-side #0 vs #10 vs #20 fit notes for the current thickness band • Plain-text share sheet of the locked card plus local duplicate/edit for repeat glue-ups WHY IT HELPS ON THE BENCH One real joint length and stock thickness become a locked biscuit size, slot count, and fence setup in seconds—before the first plunge. No cloud account, no signal hunting in the shop. Saved plates persist locally so the same glue-up can be recalled on the next assembly day. Built for people who cut real biscuits: cabinet shops, face-frame runs, panel glue-ups, and careful DIY joinery. Open the card, lock the setup, plunge with confidence.
