Hi
I'm trying to buy 2mm thick wedges for canvas stretchers, I've ordered from a few places and keep getting sent 3mm or bigger. I need about 200 - any suggestions please.
Thanks

Reduced to £475 and to include two sets of sharpened blades but I will remove item from sale on Saturday if there are no takers.

Many thanks everyone.

Please tell me how to remove an item in the sales and ad section.
Thanks

I have replaced my old Morso for one with a longer r/hand scale.
I have used this machine for 10yrs and it cuts perfectly - beware it has no safety guard. £500
I can possibly deliver within a 50mile radius.

That's a shame but thanks and god luck.

Thanks everyone especially for the soap gags.

This a new one for me, I have two bars of soap which I need to attach to a mount to go in a box frame!
