NICKEL BISCUIT JOINER APPARATUS AND METHOD

This invention is a method for machining， configuring and using woodworking tools to produce wood furniture capable of being joined with nickels (U.S. 5?? coin) as fasteners (as plates， or plate biscuits). Specifically， the instant invention creates two-way slots， allowing a shelf joint to be fastened with a common nickel (or similar coin or disc). Rather than using a limited biscuit cutter/biscuit joiner， die instant method discloses use of a router with a specialized router bit (aka slot cutter bit); die slot cutter on die router allows a common U.S. 5?? piece to become tire spline/plate/biscuit joining the two wood pieces/panels， thereby allowing rapid assembly & disassembly of wood furniture.

本发明公开一种用于加工、配置并使用木工工具制造木质家具的方法，该家具可采用美国5分镍币作为紧固件，其功能等效于板件或板状饼干榫（biscuit）。具体而言，本发明开设双向槽，使得搁板接合节点可通过普通镍币（或类似硬币、圆盘）实现紧固连接。相较于传统的加工范围受限的饼干榫切割机/饼干榫接合机（biscuit cutter/biscuit joiner），本方法提出了一种搭配专用镂铣机铣刀（router bit，又称开槽铣刀slot cutter bit）的镂铣机（router）使用方案；该镂铣机搭配此开槽铣刀后，可使普通美国5分镍币成为连接两块木料/板材的榫条/板状/饼干榫状连接件，从而实现木质家具的快速组装与拆卸。
