Router Safety Tips: It's easy to prevent mishaps if you take a few simple precautions. 1) Rockler recommends using 1/2'' shank router bits whenever possible. 1/2'' shanks provide better stability with less vibration to produce a smoother cut and longer cutter life. 2) Make multiple light passes rather than one heavy cut. 3) Install your router bit so that 90% of the shank is inside the collet. Here's a rule of thumb: fully insert the bit, then pull it back 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. 4) Use a router table whenever possible. 5) When using large diameter bits, reduce the RPM of your router. Then test your set-up on scrap lumber. 6) Always follow your router manufacturer's recommendations.

1) Submitted by Nick, from San Diego, CA on 9/14/2009 Customer Rating: Excellent product! Cuts effortlessly and gives a very clean slot. Bisucits fit perfectly and give a secure joint. What I really like about this method is that the 2 halves that are being joined line up perfectly for gluing, which has not been the case for me using mortise/tenons or dowels. The biscuits are also much easier to use although I would expect the joints may not be as strong as these other methods. For my application, joining 45 deg corners on a fireplace hearth this was the best and, perhaps, only way to go.

2) Submitted by Jim Mulford, from Wilton, NY on 10/25/2007 As with all Rockler router bits, this cutter cuts great; smooth and true. However, when buying a biscuit cutter head you would expect that the cutter would make a slot the correct size for a buscuit. Standard biscuit cutter heads come in 2 sizes, 4" and 2" diameter. This head is neither. This is only a slot cutter that has bearings to set the biscuit depth.

3) Submitted by Harold Holloway, from Bonners Ferry, ID on 11/1/2008 Customer Rating: The biscuit cutter set works very well, especially when it is on the shaft in the right way. There were no instructions so I had it on the wrong way at first and wound up making a lot of smoke. It is also very important to keep a hand held router flat while making the cut.
