  • 306332479?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024The rod biscuit I`m making you Rob will drop right on the cone, I use a wood dowel rod on the bottom of the biscuit plate that will go in the center hole of the cone top. This keeps the biscuit centered, plus the rod wire comes out the dowel too. The dowel along with the string pressure keeps the biscuit solid on the cone.
