A lamellar milling machine, also known simply as a biscuit machine, is an electrical tool for woodworking. It allows you to join two pieces of wood together, without staples, nails or screws. The cutter uses a small blade (10 cm) to make a crescent-shaped incision in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood. A wooden oval, called "biscuit", is covered with glue, placed in the incision and the two boards are connected to form a joint. This simple process creates strong, smooth, seamless joints. To get the desired results in woodworking, you need to know how to use a biscuit maker.

Steps

Step 1. Line up the pieces of wood you wish to join

Step 2. Mark where the cookies will be placed

Use as many lamellas as needed to secure the pieces of wood

Step 3. Mark the same positions on the other piece of wood

The manufacturing process allows a certain flexibility in joining the pieces of wood, therefore perfect alignment is useless

Step 4. Define the settings and lock the router to determine the depth of the cut

Step 5. Place the biscuit maker firmly over the pencil marks

Step 6. Turn on the tool and push it forward to make a crescent-shaped incision in the wood

Apply pressure to push the blade out, allowing it to cut through the wood.
The cutter blade retracts when idle.
The crescent-shaped grooves can be longer and larger than the cookies, so you can better align the two pieces of wood before the glue starts to set.

Step 7. Cut the slots at the defined points of each piece of wood

Step 8. Cover each cookie with wood glue or apply it directly into the crevices

Step 9. Slide a cookie into each of the slots at each station

Step 10. Secure the two pieces of wood firmly with wood ties

Once locked, the compressed biscuit will expand to fill the crescent-shaped crack and when dry it will create a strong bond between the two pieces

Step 11. Remove excess glue before it dries

Step 12. Clean the router according to the instructions, before storing it when not in use

Advice

Since they are made of compressed wood, the cookies must be stored in airtight containers, otherwise they will absorb moisture and swell.
Practice positioning the components before gluing them, to make sure everything fits.
The biscuit is usually made of compressed wood.
The most common woodworking joints are: edge to edge (table or cabinet tops), oblique joints (frames), bottom of frame (end-to-end), corner joints (drawers or chairs), and T joints (books or shelves).

Warnings

Wear safety goggles and a dust mask when working with a biscuit maker.
If the cutter burns or creates smoke in the wood in the crevices, it is time to sharpen or replace the blade.
