  • Our take on the Craftsman CMEW020

    The Craftsman CMEW020 is a corded biscuit joiner built around an 11,000 rpm motor that cuts the slots for standard biscuits in edge, face and miter joints. It uses a fence with adjustable height and angle settings, so it handles casework, tabletops and picture frames without extra jigs. Reviewers treat it as a solid mid-range option: it cuts clean, repeatable slots, but the fence and depth stops feel less precise than on premium joiners. It suits hobbyists and home woodworkers who want a dedicated biscuit tool without paying for a pro-grade machine.

    Pros
    • 11,000 rpm motor cuts biscuit slots quickly in hardwood and softwood
    • Adjustable fence handles edge, face and miter cuts
    • Corded AC power means no battery to charge or replace
    • Standard biscuit sizes, so blades and biscuits are easy to find
    • Simple depth-stop setup for common biscuit sizes
    Cons
    • Fence and angle detents are not as precise as on premium joiners
    • Heavy for a handheld tool, so long sessions tire the arms
    • Dust collection is basic and leaves chips in the slot
    • Depth adjustment takes fiddling to dial in exactly

    Questions and answers

    Is the CMEW020 worth it for a home shop?
    Yes, if you cut biscuit joints regularly on cabinets, shelves and tabletops. It cuts clean slots and costs far less than pro-grade joiners, though its fence is less precise.
    Does it use standard biscuits?
    Yes. It takes the common #0, #10 and #20 biscuits, so supplies are easy to find.
    Is it corded or cordless?
    It is a corded AC tool running on 120 V. There is no battery to charge, but you need an outlet or extension cord.
    How does it compare with a Domino joiner?
    A Domino cuts loose-tenon mortises with more precision and stronger joints, but it costs much more. The CMEW020 is a simpler biscuit tool for lighter work.
    Can it cut miter and face joints?
    Yes. The adjustable fence tilts for miter cuts and sets heights for edge and face slots.
    What comes in the box?
    The joiner, a dust bag, and the standard blade and wrench for biscuit size changes. Biscuits are usually sold separately.
    Where is the Craftsman CMEW020 cheapest?
    At Lowe's, for $349.00, as of our latest check.
