Infinity Tools Joinery Biscuits, 100 Pc. Packs
Fill Your Biscuit Tin And Make Some Joinery
The modern cabinet shop's best friend may very well be the squat little oblong wood chip we call the 'biscuit'. Puny though it may appear, the common beechwood biscuit can add a Herculean degree of strength to many end grain methods of joinery. Inherently weak miter joints can be trusted to hold without adding keys when you throw a biscuit inside. Laminated plywood sheets can be edge joined to make perfectly aligned paneling. Corners, carcasses, and all manner of T-joints are all easily improved by using an appropriately sized biscuit.
Like the time tested dowel, a biscuit's strength comes from its ability to absorb moisture from glue and expand within its slot, effectively locking the two joined pieces of wood in place from the inside. Unlike a dowel, however, the biscuit's unique shape creates a much larger surface area, which serves to both increase the amount of edge grain that is anchored by the glue and spreads out the load from wood expansion and contraction over time. Biscuit joints are also easier to cut and align than dowels, so you'll spend less time sweating over how precisely you've marked your work pieces just before your glue up begins.
Three sizes of biscuits are available and each come in 100 piece packs. Want to really get to work with biscuits? Pick up one of Infinity Cutting Tool's Biscuit Joining Router Bit Sets, which lets you cut the same biscuit slots as a standalone biscuit joiner but at a fraction of the cost!
