I bought one, a 3901 plate joiner, or biscuit cutter.
When the angle guide is removed, the remaining plate is not even with
the front of tool where the blade comes out. Seems like it is machined
wrong. If I were going to make some biscuits into say the side of a
piece of wood, such as the side of bookshelf, I would have to add a
small shim to get it supported squarely.
Anybody know anything about this?
DON'T REMOVE IT! It is adjustable between 0 and 90 degrees.

Right. When you remove the angle guide, the front of the tool is not in
the same plane as the whatchmmacallit fence. On mine. The fence is
actually back about 1/32 to 1/16.
