A biscuit joiner is a woodworking tool used to join two pieces of wood together. It uses a small circular saw blade to cut a crescent-shaped hole in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood or wood composite panels.
A highly dried and compressed oval-shaped wooden biscuit (made from beech wood) is coated with glue or glue is applied to the slot. The biscuit is immediately placed in the slot and the two boards are clamped together. The wet glue expands the biscuit, further improving the bond.
Specifications
The direction of the biscuit fibers is diagonal to give strength to the joinery.
The biscuit provides a quick way to achieve a perfectly flush joint while also reinforcing the joint.
