Are you using a router and cutter, or a dedicated biscuit cutter?

At the moment I am not using any I am just wondering the best way and what is involved. i was thinking of a biscuit join cutter

There are various other fitings to suit biscuit cut slots, such as knockdown fixings, hinges etc, not just for joining

The dedicated machines outperform the router cutters by far
