I have a 2KF machine we don't use any more if you want to buy for spares

send me your e mail and I will get some pictures across to you

speak to someone at Rose and Hollis
I think they do something but don't know the conservation level

it's a spacer wrapped in acid free paper I think

axminster power tools I think still do a mini shot blasting kit and would guess that's what may have been used

you can overdo shot blasting and the finish depends on type of sand/grit used

otherwise, check locally and there may be someone doing this- a steel manufacturers may help

Hi Ben

i might be able to run that from cutters I have here
pm me

Nice idea

a Happy Christmas to all framers and best for 2016
Tim @ kingswood frames and mirrors

we do things like this all the time

Pm me and we can discuss options if you like

Hi Andy
I bought the CS2 in January from Phil at Ashworth and Thompson and it's been a great little machine

we do some volume work on it and it holds up very well.
wedges sometime stick but it's very easy to loosen and remove

This is a great idea
does anyone remember the Phantom Flan Flinger?
has he moved on into framing?

maybe this guys mum is Sally James!

how much do you need?

Very sad news when any firm ceases

we used to supply Renaissance with mouldings a few years back and always thought them a very good company to work with

best of luck in what ever new venture you go into

are these the PNU wedges that fit the Taurus 2K machine?

we did all the above framers corner had none left and Inmes were discontinuing the range for lack of demand the only other thing we explored was getting the chute and face plate changed to accommodate universal wedges didn't get that far though if someone knows a decent engineer or metal worker, it ...

outstanding
very nice work

hi Steve
I had this problem and couldn't find any anywhere

bought a new cassese from Phil at Ashworth and Thompson in the end
had a good deal from them and it's a very good machine

let me know how much you need
I can run one length or multiples in obeche and would be happy to help

can you fax me or e mail a drawing with specs on it?
Tim

very best of Luck Jim

what finish did you use

we make frames like this and it's a great job
