Description
The Biscuit Jointer was originally invented to join chipboard. However, it can be used to join any 2 Pieces of wood together, it uses a small circular saw blade to cut a crescent-shaped hole in the wood which a small wooden biscuit will then be inserted and glued. Joining them permanently as well as aligning them without any visual disruption.
These Biscuits help align the faces during “glue-up”, especially with a longer panel such as a tabletop, they also don’t reveal themselves once the panels are glued together, leaving you with a clean, professional look.
Biscuit Jointing is NOT used for structural integrity, it is mainly used for alignment. If strength is what you’re looking for you should try dowels instead.
