Using the Porter Cable biscuit joiner. Not my favorite tool, but has its uses.
In the process of gluing together some boards, planning to make a flat surface. They are about 28 inches long and 3/4' thick. Have run all of the individual boards through a conventional joiner and confirmed that the surface is in fact completely flat. And yes, I cut the biscuit slots without touching the depth of cut setting any.
Question: When glued together, how come the boards do not line up exactly? For some parts of the glued assembly, at least a part of one of the boards is slightly proud.
I know I can sand it down, but I feel like I should not have to...
