Here is a convenient and easy way to secure mitered workpieces when you need to cut biscuit slots into their angled ends. Just clamp a long scrap rail across the bench, and clamp a second mitered scrap to it to act as a stop. Align this setup on your bench so you can insert your mitered workpieces into it and access the part end easily with the biscuit joiner.
I use this method when I need to create a lot of mitered frame parts, because it really speeds up the slot-cutting process.
