Biscuit Jointer Cutters

Biscuit jointer cutters are specially engineered to deliver highly accurate, cleanly cut slots that perfectly fit standard wood biscuits — a crucial component used to create strong, tight, and invisible joints in a variety of woodworking tasks. These precision cutters are ideal for cabinet making, panel alignment, and furniture assembly, ensuring consistent joint strength and improved structural integrity across multiple materials and applications..

What Are Biscuit Jointer Cutters Used For?

These specialised blades are mounted inside a biscuit jointer to produce half-oval slots in timber, MDF or composite boards:

  • Precision Slotting – Ideal for edge joining and face-frame assembly.
  • Clean Entry – Carbide tips reduce tear-out in veneered or painted boards.
  • Fast Repeat Cuts – Designed for rapid setups in production or on-site joinery.
  • Durable Cutting – Engineered for long life through hardwoods or abrasive board materials.

Used By:

  • Cabinet makers aligning panels and carcasses
  • Kitchen fitters building jointed frames
  • Joiners creating flush corner or edge joints
  • DIYers assembling shelving or furniture with no visible screws

How to Choose the Right Biscuit Cutter

Match your blade to the machine, project type, and board material:

1. Blade Diameter

Most cutters are 100mm with 22mm or 23mm bore sizes. Always confirm your machine’s arbor size.

2. Tooth Count & Type

Higher tooth counts deliver smoother slots. TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) blades offer superior wear resistance.

3. Material Compatibility

Ensure your cutter can handle MDF, hardwood, chipboard or laminate — different tips resist heat and resin build-up.

Biscuit Cutter FAQs

Do all biscuit jointers use the same blade?

No — always check blade diameter and bore size. 100mm diameter with 22mm or 23mm bores are most common.

How long do biscuit jointer cutters last?

Depends on usage and material. TCT blades last much longer than standard steel, especially on MDF or chipboard.

What size biscuit works with standard blades?

Standard cutters make slots for #0, #10 and #20 biscuits. Slot depth and width is controlled by the tool, not just the blade.

Can I sharpen biscuit jointer cutters?

Yes — TCT blades can be sharpened by a tool specialist. Avoid DIY sharpening as it may damage tip angles or throw balance off.

Are biscuit joints strong?

Yes — when glued, biscuit joints provide strong alignment and hold across panels, shelves or cabinets. Especially good with PVA adhesives.
