Thanks

The wheels do rotate but it is quite an effort to pull the cutter through the 2mm mdf and it does really pull the mdf away from the back of the machine... the cutting head I would say is quite stiff on the track compared to the glass cutting head so maybe adjustment required? I've downloaded the man...

What's the cassese model and compressor? Dave

That's interesting .... I'm using 2mm mdf and it's quite tough to pull the cutter down..... I may buy new wheels and try to adjust.... should the cutter head run smoothly up and down on the rail? Mine's a bit stiff even without trying to cut mdf? Also should the mdf wheels pull the mdf off the cutte...

It's the mdf were struggling with .... in a 4ft cut it runs 3or 4mm out.... but the wheels really pull.the board off the machine..?? The glass cuts bang on so it's not the machine out of square.... I've had suggested... New cutting wheels or an issue with the clamps?
Thoughts?

Ta.... very useful d

Very I testing stuff.... I've been toying with the idea of a cassese underpinner eventually as well as air gun for shooting in flexible pins..... what size tank and how many litres per minute ?
We and have to go down a quite route as No where to hide it in my unit.... ta f

On the 4000 the long clamp that hold mdf or boards etc does the clamp have rubber on it?
I've got a second had machine and there seems to be some rubber on it but not a lot.... we've had problems with cutting mdf and I'm just wondering if this is contributing to the issue.
Dave

Does anyone on here use a designated glass and board cutter ie keencut? We're about 4 months into picture framing and my buisness partner favours the 4000 whilst I'm used to a t square... he finds it hard to snap big glass on the board cutter as it often runs off at the end of the cut on a big sheet...

I may be interested.... did you manage any photos?
Not interested in the Logan...but cassese depending on model and morso possibly.....

Well bought a second hand mount board cutter..... but sruggling to get a square cut on tge straight cut head? Its got the extra extension arm on it but unsure if its set up correctly? Ive downladed the manual but unsure what the issue is? If I slide a board olong the base of the right hand extension...

We bought the second hand machine and after being a pig to square was working fine. Now the mdf head has starting running out.... not too bad over a short length but over 3ft could run out 3 or 4mm +? I wondering if there is some adjustment Im missing or a bearing knackered ? There doesnt seem to be...

Thanks for the replies.
It's all new to me so a steep learning curve.... the machine so far is performing well but the maintance needs sorting as we haven't done anything to it yet.... I'll look into it now.

5mm 5000 box £38.20
7mm 5000 box £41.05
10mm 3000 £23.85
12mm 3000 £30.55
+ vat I guess.... dunno if this is good or bad....?

We've bought a second hand morso underpinner which so far is fine, but looking at the wedges they are eye wateringly expensive from morso.
Is there an alternative brand available?
£43 for a box seems a bit pricey?

Hi, no there's no adjustment on this underpinner unfortunately, you mean the adjustable gates found on Alfamacchine's. The cuts have to be good, really good or the gaps will show. I found practise makes perfect between the Morso and the underpinner. The adjustment has to be made on the morso to get...

I know they are an old machine but just sourced one and wondering if theres anything I should know?
Ive not seen the machine yet but its that or the cs89... but a big difference in price I suspect....
Im guessing parts more difficult to aquire for the 810?
Once again your help is in valuable.
Dave

Hi, I use the Morso underpinner as a backup for my Alfamacchine 44. Its ok for the small framer but if your planning on knocking out large quantities, i would look for a more robust model, possibly pneumatic. The foot pedal on the more is weak and tends to bend around the piston joints, I have had ...

Deal done.... now working on an underpinner.... d

It looks a lot cleaner than mine. :oops: 1984 vintage, bought new from Ashworth&Thompson. £610 inc vat. :D If there was a contest for the Muckiest Morso I would scoop the pot. :lol: Im not sure if thats reasuring or not ... :D Have you done anything to 'pimp' it or it it standard? Just wonderin...
