Biscuits
Where is the best place to buy a bucket of triton biscuits? Preferably on line. I don't know if I've seen them recently at Bunnies (and given what is happening to their Triton stock levels...).
Justtools don't seem to stock them. Carbatec (going by their on line catalogue) don't seem to keep much by way of biscuits at all.
Thanks in anticipation...

Try Northwood, Colin sells Triton and may be able to get some biscuits to send to you.

I assume Freud biscuits are basically the same as Triton biscuits. I got a box of 1000 from MWE a year or so ago - very reasonable.

Hi guys
I have had a few times where more than one hardware store needed to be visited before finding a batch of TRITON biscuits including the big green shed mob.
Reading up a bit on biscuit sizes etc the Triton cutter can sort of be adapted to 'stretch' the cut or whatever... not a perfect fit or solution maybe.... but an option. I love the simplicity of my attachment and the accuracy..... so I trust Triton will continue with this product.... forever the optimist!"May your dreams of today

There's a bucket 500 Triton biscuits for sale on Ebay if that helps?

I would assume there would be a different size cutter available to insert into the Triton bicuit tool if biscuits became difficult to obtain?

Carbatec Sydney definitely have them, several buckets full when I was there today (Wed 26th) - try asking Carbatec Brisbane if they will get them for you. You may find that shops which used to sell Triton have a bucket or two hanging around.

For my current project maybe 20 but long term I want to stock up. It seems they are available, so I'm not too worried. If Bunnies don't have any available this weekend, I'll buy them off ebay per John H's link.

Triton Biscuit Joiner:
It was nothing to do with coming up with a proprietary size, so you were forced to buy just their biscuits, although that is the end result. It has everything to do with the fact that you are using a router to do the job of a biscuit cutter.
The standard biscuit cutter runs a blade that is about 100mm in diameter. That's suicide for the average person trying to have a router bit that size mounted in the average router. Remember potentially that the router can go up to 20000 RPM - well beyond the average speed of your angle grinder (which is really what the average biscuit cutter is based around). Your tip speed would be a cool 750km/hr.
Instead, Triton went for a router bit size that is bearable, even if used incorrectly (ie flat out), and then developed a biscuit to match.
You can use a standard biscuit, although it has to be trimmed (as it is too long), and it won't be as deep as the Triton."Clear, Ease Springs"

The triton biscuit system uses what is know as a number 5 biscuit. Theses can be either Lamello, Porta Cable or Bix brand. Carbatec Perth sells them which is were I get mine from, avail in bags of 50, 100, 250 or a box of 1,000, cant rember how much but much cheaper than triton ones.

In use, you simply plunge the workpiece in as normal, in line with the right-hand datum line in this picture, then slide the workpiece to the left-hand datum line. This gives a standard size 20 biscuit slot, perfect every time.
