When you make biscuits (the kind in the US that are sort of like light weight scones or shortbread, not the UK "cookies"), you pat or roll out the dough into a sheet and then cut the round biscuits from the dough. When you cut them, because the dough is tender, you need a nice clean and straight edge that cuts sharply or the sides will pinch together and the biscuits then will not rise properly during baking. Some people say you can cut the biscuits with the rim of a drinking glass, but that pushes the edges together at the bottom, "sealing" them, and then they can end up like hockey pucks instead of biscuits.
The tool for the job of cutting biscuits properly is called a biscuit cutter. They usually have a handle on top of a round aluminum form with straight sides that will easily cut through the dough without pinching. Some of them also have a center smaller round piece that is removable. You put it in place when you want to cut out doughnuts and the center circle cuts out the doughnut holes all in one motion.
The biscuit cutter was invented in 1875 by Alexander Ashbourne.

Mr. Albert Baumann found a cutter with beautiful engravings. He chose this one to make a biscuit that he named Tennis Biscuit. He then registered the name â??Tennisâ?? and the design as well. Tennis Biscuits are South Africa's favorite biscuit. They contain coconut and are a crisp semi sweet biscuit. They have become a staple in the South African pantry. These are used in making crumb crusts, fridge cakes and other desserts.
It is a joinery tool. You cut a slot in the two pieces of wood you're going to join, put some glue on a biscuit, stick the biscuit in the slots and clamp it together. The biscuits are made from beechwood. They swell up from the moisture in the glue and lock the wood together.
Choke biscuits are made by 'choking' off pieces of dough rather than rolling it and cutting with a biscuit cutter The choked pieces are then rounded and dropped onto a cookie sheet or biscuit pan and baked.
The meaning of the name Chigaduro is "the cutter, chopper."
