It's about time for me to re-stock on bicuits.  I'd love to
get some feedback on whose bicuits are the best quality
in terms of uniform (and appropriate) sizing.  The last batch
I bought (cheapies) varied by as much as .045" in thickness,
and I'd like to avoid that disaster this time...

Personally, I prefer Pilsbury, but they're just too darned
flaky and hard to glue...

Seriously, though, I'd like to hear of any particularly good or
bad brands or sources...

John, I have been pleased with the Lamello biscuits.  Your post about
variations in thickness made wonder so I just grabbed a handful of #10
biscuits and my dial calipers.  They result was a variation of about +/-
0.007 inches.  I say about because I was not that meticulous about
collecting and tabulating the data.  These biscuits are sold under various
names, but are easy to identify because they are stamped with "lamello" on
one side.

I store the biscuits in Tupperware type containers to prevent them from
absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and swelling.

The only other brand that I have used was Porter Cable and I did not
particularly care for them.  It seems that they were not uniformly pressed
and the quality just wasn't as good as the Lamello.

Regards,

Ed

I have some Porter Cable biscuits and haven't been very happy with them. Some
of them will not even begin to fit the slots. Many of the PC biscuits ended
up in the trash can. I have even microwaved them but it did not help. Freud
biscuits have worked very well.
