juniper creations, log furniture
i use these biscuits in all my dressers and night stands and have been very pleased. i,ll be buying more soon.

Consistancy or lack there of.
I was a bit concerned with the quality of the biscuits. I found that about 5%+ where off size or broke easily. I have a small home shop that I do a little work out of. It is important from a $ stand point that the supplies I buy are right. I will buy another, when I need one, to see if I get the same results.

some are swollen
before you judge the quality of these biscuts on my review, keep in mind that they are being kept in less then airtite conditions in a rather damp basement. Most of the pieces which i remove from the bag are, in general, perfectly normal, but there are a few which do take a bit of persuasive action with a rubber mallet to make fit. no huge problems, however. I would recommend.

Can't find this elsewhere
In our area, these are tough to find, and when you do, you have to buy way too many of just one size. This assortment is handy. As for defective biscuits mentioned in another review, I've found only a few, and wouldn't half of them would have to be bad to break even paying double for something else?

nice biscuits

GREAT BUY!
I purchased this box of 1,000 biscuits which came in 4 bags. I used to buy them at Home Depot and Lowes in the clear cylinder. This 1,000 pack is a much better buy and I don't have to be as conservative with them. This pack has lasted me a long time and prove to provide the strongest joint. I read in the reviews that someone wasn't satisfied about the quality of the biscuits, so I inspected them for defects and didn't find any. I am certain that these are the best buy for cost effectiveness and quality.

Best biscuits for the money
If you want to use biscuits that are uniform and will work everytime, then get these. Porter Cable biscuits are, in my opinion, the best made. They do not swell prematurely, thereby preventing you from getting your project together. Nor do they come out of the box in a variety of non-uniform thicknesses. Each biscuit is within strict tolerances of the next biscuit. I have used the Lemello biscuits and have found that they are not as uniform or well made as those by Porter Cable. Additionally, I have used biscuits from Lowes and Home Depot (Wolfcraft?) and have found that those, too, are not uniform to the same tolerances as the Porter Cable biscuits.

Plate Jointing
I use Plate Jointers quite often and Highly Recommend as the strenght of the joint is most times stronger than the wood itself. ... Read more

Biscuit Review, The
I have used the Porter-Cable 5563 biscuits for several projects and they have worked just fine. The cheaper brands crumble when you try to tap the biscuit into the cut with a hammer... these do not crumble. Very nice!

Very happy with them.
There is not much to say about biscuits. The do work very well and I have gone through about 500 of them with no problems. They seem to be very uniformed and I have not had a joint go out on me yet. I have been building with biscuits for a few years and have always had good luck with Porter-Cable products.

Teenie, Tiny, Itty, Bitty, Little Biscuits
These are the smallest biscuits available and are of limited use, but the excel for those uses. They are narrow enough to use for joining face frames on cabinets, but I prefer to do that with a Kreg jig and no biscuits.

I use these mainly for joining small picture frames and box corners. The only other method in these applications is a spline, which must be fitted with much more care and precision than a biscuit.

These are quality products - I have not had one fail. They fit the slots cut with the special blade that comes with the Porter Cable 557 biscuit joiner kit. The fence on that tool makes it easy to do box corners. If you are doing alot of boxes and frames, I think you will like these biscuits.

A little too small
The small face frame biscuits are a great item but in their intended purpose they are hard to work with. The inch and a half stock is better joined together with the old fashioned dowel method. You have to change blades on the joiner to use the smaller blade for this small biscuit and the time it takes isn't worth the trouble to do when you get a better result with the dowel. ... Read more

Great for all Joints
These little biscuits are great for every type of joint. 45 degree joints are so simple and you can rely on these little pieces of wood to guarantee that you will not have to worry about joints coming apart in the future. Just make sure that when you are using biscuits to make a solid board for a table top or anything like it, you place the biscuits so you do not cut into them when making that finish end cut. ...

All biscuits/No Gravy
Saved my husband and I lots of cash! We went from .16 cents at a local lumber yard, to .02 cents apiece. (He always said I made hard biscuits!) Sandy

Lots of broken ones...
I must agree with a previous reviewer about there being quite a few defective biscuits. I picked up several containers at a local home center and took a good look at them. It was very easy to find them with chipped corrners or with cracks. The Freud biscuits that came with my cutter were much better in appearance. I'm not sure how it will ultimately affect the strength of the joint.

Strong Biscuits, But Inconsistent Quality
These seem to be the most widely sold biscuits. I don't understand why.

Biscuit joining has become one of the most important aspects of my woodworking, and I have been using Porter Cable biscuits (all three sizes) for some time now. I am surprised at the inconsistency. In a typical canister of 100 biscuits, I have to reject (easily) 20 of them. The rejects are usually:

1. Too thick to go into the slot.

or

2. Broken at the tips (therefore giving less glue surface).

or

3. Cracked on one or both faces. This is not only bad for strength, but it also prohibits easy insertion into the biscuit slot.

When I do find nice ones in the canister, they are very strong. Porter Cable needs to do some quality control on their biscuits, so at least 95% of them are good, or they need to set up some kind of exchange system where woodworkers can turn in their bad ones.

I now have two canister full of "rejects."

Porter Cable has a good reputation generally, and I hope their biscuits will improve to match their other products. ... Read more
