Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Porter-Cable face frame biscuits join material as narrow as 1-1/2 inches. Standard size 0 biscuits are too long for use in 1-1/2-inch stock, but these biscuits are 13-by-30-millimeters. With Porter-Cable's 557 deluxe plate joiner and these face frame biscuits, narrow stock can be joined quickly and easily. At 5/32-inch thick, they are as thick as standard biscuits and provide plenty of strength for typical face frame construction. The re-sealable tube protects biscuits from moisture to prevent swelling. These biscuits come in a pack of 175.

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.

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!

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.
