Features:

• Fits slots cut by all standard plate joiners
• Compressed beech wood
• Swells when used with water-based glues to "lock" joints
• 1,000 pack

Editorial Review:

Made from compressed beech wood, these plate joining biscuits swell when they absorb water-based glues, further strengthening a wood joint. At 5/32-inch thick, they will fit slots cut by all standard plate joiners.

#20 biscuits:

Very glad to be able to get this product at such a great pricePorter-Cable 5553 No. 20 Biscuits (1,000-Pack)

Bulk biscuits:

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.

ACCEPTABLE:

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.

Biscuits need special storage:

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.
