Thread: Biscuits

Not sure from your sig where you are from, but here in the states they are pretty well available everywhere. The ones I use are available from BOSCH. Their site is boschtools.com. Hope it helps.

Not sure whether they have to be PorterCable biscuits, but my local Home Hardware stocks Medallist biscuits #20 in 2 size containers, 100 and 500.

I have used them and they were fine.

Carbi-Tec used to have Porta-Cable biscuits but not anymore. They have a new brand for the same price.

I guess what I meant was the size of the Porter-Cable and not Triton as they are smaller. I looked on the Carbra-Tect site but I could not find any biscuits.

Carbatec Brisbane have PC biscuits (well they did last time I went 3 months ago), they also stock other brands, so you should call them.

I have found triton to be a "weird" size.

Garry,

Any good hardware store would have the “normal” biscuits. Forget about bunnings, forget about mitre 10 but a hardware store.

Triton biscuits are really made for slot cutters. Consider it as a 1-off thing. Cutting biscuits with a slot cutter is OK on softwood but it is almost impossible and quite dangerous on hardwood.

Garry,
Carbatec WA carry a range of biscuits (sizes 0, 10, 20) used for plate joiners and a #5 which is used for the triton router slot cutter. They are all 4mm thick. I dont think they are listed on the web site but you can contact us via email (Sales@carbatecwa) or 1800 886 657. We sell them in packets of 50, 250 or boxes of a thousand.
Hope this is of some help.
regards
Garry

Garry, when are you guys going to open up south of the river?

Garry,

THe Triton are the wrong size for the Porter-Cable biscuit cutter. I specifically do not want those.

I am after the standard biscuit and was hoping to be able to get them either today or tomorrow, which now looks unlikely.
