Biscuits construction isn't as stout as M&T; just quicker. I use both,
depending on what I want to achieve.

Let me add to the confusion.

Would a biscuit and glue provide the same level of stregnth? I'm
adding a bottom shelf to a coffee table and am trying to decide on the
joinery for the shelf support. The shelf is 28" square made of makore.
I'd like to use biscuit cause it's quick and I already have the tool.


Any thoughts?
