 Great, but not ExcellentJun 08, 2007
By Neldon W. Jackson
These biscuits are great, but not excellent. I have found that I have had to modify several of the biscuits before use as they have been pressed to the point where a bit of the material protrudes from the edge preventing it from being inserted into the groove. I have only used about 50 of the 1000, and have had to tweak about 4 already; that's a 8% failure rate.
I've taken to having to inspect each one before inserting into the glued groove.
If you have the time to inspect each one, then these are great.

Biscuit for Your ProjectsAug 02, 2005
By Jeffrey Pino
These wood biscuits work really well while joining your frames together. They help to stablize and strenghten your wood frames without the awkwardness of doweling.

Not as useful as #20's, but still a great deal!Feb 20, 2005
By Scott Pointon

For years I have been using P-C biscuits in my woodworking projects. Since I work with alot of 3/4" - 5/4" wood, I use #20 biscuits more than the smaller #10 and #00, but I have found that these #10 biscuits excell at reinforcing mitered corners.
I have not had any significant amount of "bad" biscuits from Porter-Cable. There is an occasional thick one - meaning it either didn't get compressed as it should have or it swelled from moisture - but these are few and far between.
Basically, I have had nothing but good luck with these so I highly recommend them!
Porter Cable NO. 10'sJan 03, 2012
By Jim S
Buying in Bulk seems to be the best move to make these days. The smaller packed items are too costly and just in the savings in gas to get them make it worth it. These biscuits are of the same quality as those in smaller packs and they work great. Now that I found these in quantity packs I will never buy them in small packs again. And the best news of it all is they are Made In America. That sells it for me. I try my hardest to buy only Made In America. I want to keep this country working vs. saving 3 cents. And there is no better quality found.
