Thanks I will give him a call.

Hi, I have an old Morso that could do with a good check and maybe a few new parts. Does anybody know of anyone in the Rep. of Ireland that services Morsos and would be able to do this for me?

Thank you very much for your comments.

In the market for a new 48" matcutter but not sure if I should go for a Keencut or Fletcher. Would be glad of any advise.

Regards, Brian

Thanks very much. I should have tested the moulding before I stocked it. I won't be buying it again.

Would be grateful if somebody could give me some advise on repairing chips in gesso, what to use etc., The frame that I am trying to repair is cream coloured and the chips are at the corners caused by the Morso cutting.

Mine packed up and on advise from forum members I bought a travel iron (9 euro). It works a treat.

Found the number under dirt on the top plate. Manufactured in 1950 and still going strong.

Hi,
I have an old Morso with the engraved scale. Does anybody know where I would find the serial number of this machine?

Thanks prospero, They line up fine at the front just that one side of the V is very slightly shorter.

Just replaced my Moros blades with a set that came back from Lion that they said were fully serviced but they are not exactly the same width. One is about 1 to 2mm narrower. Will this effect the cut (I have only cut narrow mouldings so far). Has anybody had this problem before and if so did Lion do ...

Did a 5' x 3' jigsaw last week. Used a flat bed press and DMT to mount it onto foamboard. This did an great job. I would suggest that you try and find somebody nearby with a press that knows how to mount it in bites.

Thanks , Kevin I'll follow your advise.

Thanks everybody, just finished. Used our domestic iron and it worked a treat.

Why didn't I think of that ? Thanks very much

Hi, my tacking iron no longer works and I have a lot of mounting to do and cannot wait for the replacement. I was going to use Pritt Stick as an interm method of tacking but I notice on the Lion website that it says not to do this if using foamboard. I was going to tack posters to foamboard so does ...

Who in Ireland sharpens morso blades. Is it better to send them to Lion and if so is it okay to send them through the post internationally ?

Grateful of any info.
Brian

Many thanks to all for the useful info. I have decided to buy the second hand morso in Dublin that I was offered through this forum and am expecting delivery on Thursday. Brilliant forum and I will be logging in regularly from now on. Thanks again, Brian.

Thanks very much Mark. As luck would have it (and this forum) it looks as though I may have found a Morso in Dublin. Will let you know how it pans out.
Regards, Brian

Hi,
I cannot believe this, I have just posted that I cannot find a Morso in Ireland ! Could I have a few more details about the foot operated one. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean about the measuring arm.
