A "Lamello" is a small, oval-shaped piece of compressed wood, commonly known as a biscuit, used in woodworking to join two pieces of wood. It is inserted into matching slots cut into the wood and glued in place; as it absorbs the glue, it swells, creating a strong, precise bond. The term "Lamello" also refers to the Swiss company that invented the biscuit joiner system. In addition to wooden biscuits, Lamello also produces a plastic element with lateral clamping ridges that anchor securely in the groove. When used in combination with wooden biscuits, the plastic biscuit helps to keep the joint perfectly aligned while the glue sets, ensuring stability and accuracy during assembly.
