5 out of 5 stars Bulk biscuits   May 7, 2007
I bought these biscuits through Amazon because I can only get packages of 250 locally. Even so, I only saved about $1 over the cost of buying the smaller packs. Still, you can't beat the convenience of ordering from Amazon.


4 out of 5 stars ACCEPTABLE   January 11, 2007
The order and delivery service was terrific.
The package contained about 5-10% swollen biscuits and about 1% flaked biscuits but rest were great and worth the sale price.



4 out of 5 stars Biscuits need special storage   January 4, 2007
Like any beech wood these pieces re subject to absorbing ambient moisture from the (shop)air and thereby making an easy fit into a bisuit slot somewhat difficult. They shouldbe stored in an airtight jar with a 3/4 cup of cheap cat litter to absorb any moisture and be therefore ready in any circumstance.


4 out of 5 stars Biscuit Bonding   August 2, 2005
These wood biscuits work really well while joining your frames together. They help to stablize and strenghten your wood frames without the awkwardness of doweling and within moments the strength of the biscuit and glue create a lasting bond.



4 out of 5 stars Good quality at a fair price   February 20, 2005
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

For years I have been using these P-C biscuits for building tabletops and panels in various furniture projects. Since I work with alot of 3/4" - 5/4" wood, I use these #20 biscuits more than the smaller #10 and #00.

I have not had any significant amount of "bad" biscuits from Porter-Cable. There is an occasional thick one - meaning it either didn't get compressed as it should have or it swelled from moisture - but these are few and far between.

Basically, I have had nothing but good luck with these so I highly recommend them!
