Nice video. My main use for biscuits is alignment.... especially in edge banding, face frames and cabinet boxes. Just a couple helps keep things exactly where you want them as the glue dries and I put in a couple pocket hole screws between them for extra clamping/holding power. You don't have to glue them, if they fit well and you fear the wood may shrink and cause a divot in any face that shows. If you can find one and have the need for it, an old Ryobi DBJ50 comes in handy. It does the mini biscuits (R1, R2, R3) and is excellent for face frames IMHO.
Just using my jointer after a gap of about 15 years. Couldn’t remember how to use it. Thanks to your video mission accomplished.

Do you biscuit cut and glue each joint at a time and wait to set or cut and glue the whole piece in one go ? Very good video !
Only video that explains everything.
