Biscuit joiners

[Paul Chapman]

However, I have made some test cuts with the new T20 and am rather disappointed with how loose the biscuits are in the slots.

If you leave them in a cold, damp workshop with the lid off the container, they will probably swell a little. If they swell too much and are too tight, put them in the microwave for one minute on full power and that will shrink them :wink:

Cheers :wink:

My problem is more the opposite. I think the biscuits are too loose. I would rather they swelled a bit - is the answer to leave them outside in the rain for half an hour !? :wink:

The biscuits should be a loose, dry fit in the slot. If they're too tight, as Paul says, give them a blast in the micro-wave. I keep mine in old coffee jars with a small handful of rice in the bottom to absorb any moisture - Rob

Hi,

I give my tight biscuits a quick cramp up in the vice, mind you don't do your Hobnobs at the same time :wink:

Well i used to use a cutter in my router and sometimes still do , i bought a wicks model in one of there sales a couple of years ago when i was in there getting something else and the £19 price ticket caught my eye .
Now for £19 i was not expecting perfection , but it has to be said that after a little setting up of the fence i have no complaints with it at all , its not something i use everyday but for that price its paid for itself :wink:
