The approach is a popular jointing method for cabinet makers as well as used in the picture framing industry. Alternatives to biscuit joints might use round wooden dowels, known as dowel jointing or small metal angle which are stapled into place, increasingly common in the picture framing industry.

A biscuit joint is a joinery method involving oval shaped compressed wood chips, known as biscuits, which are inserted into slots cut into each of the pieces of wood being joined along with glue. The biscuits are exactly the correct gauge for the slot so the joint stays tightly compressed in position, and one the glue is dry gives added strength to the joint.

In order to cut slots that are exactly the right gauge for he biscuits being used a specific tool The slots the biscuits fit in are cut by a power tool called a biscuit joiner (also known as a plate joiner). This woodworking tool has a small circular blade that plunges into a board, leaving behind a half-moon-shaped slot. When carefully aligned, a biscuit joiner allows for perfectly hidden joinery.
