The Framers Forum

Thanks very much for your responses all. The " plaque I am using is simply a thin metal sheet 40 x 30 cm and about 2.5 mm thick. I want to purposely stick it to the board so that it is not proud of the frame at the front. I have already done this with pictures before. My question was really abo...

Hi, I sell framed prints and a future range will be thin metal plaques about 30 x 40 cm with designs on them. I want to adhere them to a backing board which I need to be an off white colour and then put a frame around the board. There will be a border around the plaque of about 2 inches. There will ...

Thanks everyone

Can we assume that it will be used indoors? I would not consider this type of equipment undergoing "extreme use" as cold weather outdoor construction equipment or for medical or food industries. Therefor, I would think that most any hydraulic fluid would be satisfactory. Hi, Its a frame m...

ps Is there any reason I can't use this?
Thanks

Hi ,
I am shortly going to service my Morso EH guillotine. I have sourced a reasonably priced new filter but can anyone suggest a good reasonably priced hydraulic oil please. Does it need to be specific for Morso machines or can it be a general hydraulic oil?
Thanks

It is in great condition and we have only tested it on a few sheets of backing board and it works great. Sorry photos...

Hi Will,
Attached in link is a YouTube video of my pneumatic press. Hope it gives you an idea. I made the table and fences .

Sorry about delay. It is a Chinese bench top pneumatic press. It cost a few hundred from China I think. 800 kg pressure and runs off my compressor I made a bed and small metal grooved plate to hold hinges that I use in place. I can send you a video of it working if you like. Works brilliantly and sa...

That's a good tip! Thanks for that, I don't use polcore that often but the glue issue is always something that I'm conscious about.

BTW I've learnt the hard way about using acetone too!

You're welcome !

Hi, I make a lot of frames using Polycore and I always use a drop of high viscosity superglue on each corner. Sometimes a bit squeezes out and I have a damp cloth to wipe away thoroughly before it dries. If however I miss a bit and there is a whitish thin residue left once dried I've found that it c...

Hi does anyone out there have a spare couple of adjustable fences for a Minigraf 3 or 4 to sell for a reasonable price. As per photos.
Please let me know.
Thanks

There are a lot on eBay Diane

Hi Amanda,
I have a single phase Morso EHT. It is an amazing piece of kit. Pretty quiet, no dust and accurate.
Would recommend.
Cheers
