Questions & Answers
where is this made ?
Thank you for your question on the PJ7000 plate Joiner. The product origin is China. Please be advised that all of the Makita corporation's manufacturing centers around the world are held to the same Quality Criteria regardless of location.
The tag says assembled in the U.S.A.
Can this machine do domino size joiners?
Thank you for your question. There are six depth settings with one-touch stops for most common biscuits sizes #0, #10, and #20
No, this is a biscuit jointer, so it only cuts semi circular voids for use with biscuits. If you want to use dominoes, you’ll have to purchase the Domino by Festool.
No. Biscuit joints only.
Can 1" x 1"s be joined equally for picture frames using the Makita Plate Joiner?
Thank you for your question. The PJ7000 Plate Joiner is designed for making strong plate joints in a minimum amount of time, and has six depth settings with one-touch stops for most common biscuits sizes including #0, #10, and #20. For additional questions, please call the Makita Call Center during business hours at (800)4-MAKITA, they’re based in Buford, GA and are ready to help.
You will likely need the small biscuits (size 10 or 0) but should work.
Can this be set to use the Porter Cable face frame sized biscuits?
Makita Team, They are biscuit, something you discontinued per you website. Simple question.
Thank you for your question. Makita does not recommend using accessories or attachments other than those specifically made for the tool being used. Please refer to your instruction manual for other compatibility questions.
I used 20’s. Size is adjustable and tool is great.
What is the minimum thickness material that can be joined?
The blade is 1/8" kerf, so you could join anything thicker than 1/8". However, if your material is less than 3/8" you'll have to use some material underneath your work piece to raise it up so the cut is centered. I use mine to add biscuits to the edges of 1/2" thick moulding for a board and batten project, and I had to put a 1/8" piece of hardboard under the moulding so the blade went in center.
As a practical matter, with a biscuit cut at 5/32 inch, and expected swelling of the biscuit using water based glue, I would go no thinner than 1/2 inch. I have successfully pushed this to 3/8 if using white oak, or cherry; poplar and pine are just too soft for this.
The minimum is #0.
Does this joiner cut Face Frame size biscuit holes without blade changes?
I typically use 2 1/2 inch wide stiles and 3 inch rails, therefore # 20 biscuits work well at 2 1/4 wide. Using the depth control knob, you can easily cut shallower for # 10 biscuits. When I want the full depth of cut of a #20, but can't accomidate the full width of 2 1/4, I just sand the biscuit a bit shorter on my disc sander, rather than lose strength with a shallow # 10.
Thank you for your question. Yes, the PJ7000 Plate Joiner has six depth settings with one-touch stops for most common biscuits sizes including #0, #10, and #20.
No. According to the product manual, the joiner cuts grooves for 0-, 10-, and 20- size biscuits. There is no setting for FF biscuits, nor any mention of these in the manual.
What is the thickness range for boards that can be attached with this joiner?
The Makita PJ7000, 6 Amp Plate Joiner, has a Maximum Grooving Depth of 25/32 inches (20mm).
3/8" to 1 1/2"
Is it possible to purchase the Plate Joiner for 240 Volts in the USA
No, all Makita tools sold in the USA are for use with 120-Volts power outlets.

A professional quality joiner at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. Biscuit joining is one of the quickest, most effective ways to join 2 pieces of wood. Whether edge-joining panels for a custom table top or joining 2 box sides at 90°, you can make a hidden, reinforced joint that's stronger than the wood itself. The T31999 Biscuit Joiner makes half-oval shaped grooves in the mating edges of 2 boards, then in.biscuits in. are inserted into the grooves prior to glue-up to reinforce the joint. The Grizzly PRO Biscuit Joiner has a maximum cutting height of 1-9/16 in. and a maximum cutting depth of 23/32 in. Cutting height depends on your workpiece thickness. Set the cutting height to half the thickness of your workpiece for the strongest joint. The T31999 Biscuit Joiner is compatible with 0, 10, 20, S, D and MAX size biscuits (sold separately).
