I need to setup an assembly line to build mitered boxes and am going to use biscuits for aligning the corners to ease glue up. The boxes will be anywhere between 6"x4"x4" (LWH) to 12"x6"x"7" at biggest, so they're fairly small boxes with the height dimension being the area with the miter. I'm using 4/4 material that's 3 sides finished so I'm leaving them at .82" thickness and not planing.
What I'm looking for are ideas on a jig for mounting the plate joiner (I have the Dewault) so that I can quickly and accurately locate the box pieces in the jig and cut the biscuit slots. For the smaller boxes with a 4" height want to put one #10 biscuit in the center and boxes with a height of 6" or more, two evenly spaced biscuits (I'd like an opinion on this though, is that overkill since I'm not concerned about joint strength, but with indexing for glue up?).
I've got some ideas on how to do it, either mounting the joiner on a 45" angle, laying the material flat and having index markings on the jig for locating the part and was also thinking of mounting the joiner flat and then locating the material at a 45 degree angle, but I've got no experience with this and wanted to hear from the seasoned crew at SMC for ideas.
Thanks in advance.
