Overview:

The Silverline No.0 Biscuit Joiners (245065) are designed for fast, accurate and high-strength joints in woodworking and cabinet making. ideal for use with any No-0 biscuit jointer. These No.0 biscuits help align workpieces neatly while adding a generous gluing surface for a strong bond in softwood, hardwood, plywood and many composition boards. Compared with dowelling, biscuit joints are typically quicker to cut and allow you to clamp from the side to pull frames and panels square during glue-up. Made from compressed laminated hardwood, the biscuits expand when they come into contact with woodworking adhesive, helping lock the joint tightly in place. Supplied in a handy pack of 200 for workshop and site use.

Silverline No.0 Biscuit Joiners – Key FAQs

• What are No.0 biscuits used for?
  No.0 biscuits are commonly used for smaller joints in frames, boxes, drawers and light cabinetry, helping align parts accurately while adding a strong glued connection.

• Are biscuit joints stronger than dowels?
  Biscuit joints can be very strong because they provide a large gluing area and excellent alignment. For some heavy-load joints, dowels or loose tenons may be preferred, but biscuits are ideal for many cabinetry tasks.

• Why do biscuits expand when glued?
  The compressed laminated hardwood absorbs moisture from the adhesive, causing the biscuit to swell slightly and tighten inside the slot for a more secure joint.

• Can I use these biscuits in plywood and composite boards?
  Yes. They’re suitable for plywood and many composition boards, making them a practical choice for cabinet making and sheet material joinery.

• Do I need a specific tool to use biscuit joiners?
  Yes. You’ll need a biscuit jointer (plate joiner) to cut the matching crescent-shaped slots that the No.0 biscuits fit into.

• How many biscuits should I use per joint?
  That depends on joint length and load. As a guide, space biscuits evenly along the joint—more biscuits improve alignment and can increase strength on longer edges and panels.
