Advice on what biscuit size to use

I got a dewalt biscuit joiner for christmas and I would like to know which
applications would use the #0, #10 and #20 biscuits? Is there a universal
size tat would be for most applications?

Thanks in advance

Bingo. They cost, what, $7 a bottle? Buy one of each and as you start
using them you'll see that the #20s get used most of the time, but you'll
have the others for when you need them.

Also, in circumstances like face frames, the biscuit can stick out a bit,
then cut off after glue-up. This only works if the biscuit going to be
hidden, trimmed over, or it doesn't matter.

No. Use the largest size you can get away with. They're not that
expensive, so lay in a range.

Cheers

Areas/items requiring the #0 take a number #0.

Same goes for #10 and #20.

OK, all kidding aside, OK, actually that was an answer, I
find that most (all) of the time I use the #20. When a #20
won't fit I use a #10 and when a #10 won't do I use the #0.
And when the #0 won't do I use the #FF (I have a
Porter-Capable).

Let's put it this way. A bottle each of the #0 and #10 will
last as long as ten packs/containers/bottles of the #20.

Your Mileage May Vary.
