Fast, precise, and easy to handle, the DeWalt DW682K heavy-duty 6.5 amp plate joiner puts 10,000 RPM to work for you. A perfect pick for woodworking applications, this reliable joiner utilizes a dual rack and pinion fence to deliver consistent, accurate joints. You can produce clean, flush cuts at 0-degrees without having to remove the adjustable fence, which tilts from 0 to 90 degrees for versatility. The thoughtful design of this tool even includes preset depth stops for common biscuit sizes and a 45-degree notch in the fence that permits easy indexing using the outside surface of a mitered joint. Other useful features include retractable, anti-slip pins that hold whatever you're working on securely in place and heavy-duty aluminum shoe with a non-marring surface to protect your materials and permit clamping of the joiner for accurate stationary performance. This kit includes a six-tooth carbide blade, a convenient dust bag, a vacuum adapter, torx key, wrench, and durable kit box for easy transport.

better than expected!!:
Bought this item to help build an oak framed screen door for the front of our house, which ended up being a total of $210, in comparison to the models on line at $900 (including delivery. This biscuit joiner worked wonders and with little ease. I've never used one, but after experimenting on scrap wood it performed wonderfully and allowed us to build the door of our dreams. Thanks Amazon and DeWalt for such a grrrrrreat product.
DW682 Biscuit Joiner - The Whole Package!:

Dust Collector works great. It will hold the dust from 25-30 #20 biscuits without clogging. Easy to empty with zipper.
6.5 Amps is more than enough power to cut #20... more info
Dewalt service embarrassing:
I bought this biscuit joiner here on Amazon maybe two years ago. Out of the box the flip down fence was probably 9 to 10 degrees out of square. That's right, 9 to 10 degrees. The quality control person in China must have been drunk. I tried to mess with it but quickly realized that it was simply an atrocious casting. I finally took thi tool directly to a Dewalt sales and service outlet in Hayward, CA. The guys seemed nice enough. They said it was a warranty issue and that it would be fixed for free. They... more info
Not sure what to think.:
This is really a mixed bag, on one side you have the good price unless you buy at retail, than it`s way overpriced.
I used the prior model for years at my job, no real problems but also nothing to brag about.
One thing I never liked was the size of the case, but it was a nice and sturdy metal one.
When I saw that they changed it to a new plastic model I was hoping for more space, but the new case seems even smaller.
I do not know what is going on with the engineers at Dewalt but this... more info
