Designed to be consistent and uniform, the Porter-Cable 5553 No. 20 Biscuits do not swell until they soak up water-based glues. This process ensures a more hardy wood joint and reliable results. Comprised of flattened beech wood, these handy little biscuits conform with slots made by all standard plate joiners. And since every package contains 1,000 biscuits, you’ll always have plenty on-hand.
4″ Biscuit Joiner Details: For the Professional Woodworker. The Biscuit Jointer is designed for creating joints in lumber and pressed woods, replacing dovetails and other mechanical joints. It can be used to cut #0, #10 and #20 slots at 45 and 90 degree angles. It can be used for a variety of purposes including comers, miters and joints.

Freud’s biscuit joiner is a solid tool that costs remarkably less than its competitors’ models. The all-metal construction of this compact joiner gives it a high-quality, very balanced feel. The carbide-tipped blade cuts the three standard 0, 10, and 20 biscuit sizes–plus A, B, and max. You can switch easily between the six settings with a convenient thumb wheel. The joiner also gives you the choice of using a dust bag or hooking it up to a vacuum for even simpler cleanup. The joiner features a new variable-angle fence system for adjustments from 0 to 90 degrees. Making fence adjustments, admittedly, isn’t as easy as it is on DeWalt’s or Porter-Cable’s more expensive models–but this was the only notable difference we could find with Freud’s joiner. (It’s also not much of a concern for the casual woodworker or for anyone who uses a biscuit cutter primarily to make repetitive cuts.) All in all, this is a quality tool at a really attractive price. –Jon (more…)

The Porter-Cable face frame biscuits join material as narrow as 1-1/2 inches. Standard size 0 biscuits are too long for use in 1-1/2-inch stock, but these biscuits are 13-by-30-millimeters. With Porter-Cable’s 557 deluxe plate joiner and these face frame biscuits, narrow stock can be joined quickly and easily. At 5/32-inch thick, they are as thick as standard biscuits and provide plenty of strength for typical face frame construction. The re-sealable tube protects biscuits from moisture to prevent swelling. These biscuits come in a pack of 175.
