Wooden jointing biscuits are used for accurate edge jointing and alignment of timber during furniture making and joinery. Made from compressed beech wood, each biscuit is designed to expand slightly when used with wood glue, helping to create a tight and secure joint once clamped.
Jointing biscuits are commonly used when joining panels, boards, and frames where strength and precise alignment are important. They help prevent movement during assembly and improve the overall quality of the finished joint.
Available in three standard sizes to suit different timber thicknesses and applications.

FAQ's
What are wooden jointing biscuits used for?
Jointing biscuits are used to align and strengthen timber joints, especially when joining boards edge to edge or assembling panels and frames.
