User Comments about the Lamello 144020 #20 Beechwood Biscuits / Plates 1000-Pieces

I started checking the Porter-Cable biscuits that I had with a micrometer. I don't worry about loose joints anymore. Lamello biscuits are consistently the same thickness every time I pick one up. Several years ago, I wondered if my Porter-Cable biscuit joiner was wearing out. The biscuit thicknesses were all over the place. They work good and I will continue using them. Not very consistent.



There is some slight variation in thickness and occasionally one will be too tight to fit into the slot with hand pressure alone. As a professional woodworker go through a few thousand of these things a year and so far these are the best I've used. The last box of Porter Cable biscuits I used had splinters that stuck out (caused by the compression process), and these splinters would catch on the edge of the joint and actually prevent the joint from closing tightly. The entire biscuit is smooth and the edges seem to be sanded. These Lamello biscuits are pretty good. however the variation is probably a result of the compression process and may in fact be unavoidable. as a result I had to hand inspect each one (quite a pain when using thousands of them) These Lamello ones do not have that problem and I can grab them right out of the box and put them in the slots. The best part though is that NONE of the biscuits have splinters.
