Quickly and professionally the small circular saw blade cuts a perfect crescent-shaped hole in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood or wood composite panels that the biscuit is inserted into. This biscuit joiner is the perfect joining tool for all types of wood joining and is used by all professional wood workers, carpenters and the wood fitment industry. After slots are cut in each piece of timber the biscuit is covered with glue, or glue is applied in the slot. The biscuit is immediately placed in the slot and the two boards are clamped together. The wet glue expands the biscuit, further strengthening the bond. The grain direction of the biscuits are diagonal to add additional strength to the join, the biscuit provides a quick means of getting a perfectly flush joint, while at the same time reinforcing the joint. +27 (0) 11 314 7711 // www.torkcraft.com A chainsaw cut out for the job The GSH56 semi-pro chainsaw (2.6kW) from Oleo-Mac is ideal for a strong working capacity, even in tough conditions.
