Martin I appreciate that commercial decisions have caused you to remove Cassese products from your range but I still think your wording is misleading. "Lion has discontinued stocking Cassese wedges" rather than "Cassese wedges have been discontinued" would be the whole truth. Chr...

Lion are saying that Cassesse wedges have been discontinued. Bit misleading in my oppinion, suggests that they are no longer manufactured but I 'm guessing they just mean Lion have discontinued stocking them?

Steve, no I don't have any pressing equipment but would welcome your description on how such a machine would be used in this case especially in relation to hot vs cold. Maybe something I should be thinking of adding to my workshop?

I've also thought about comstructing some wooden 'folders' using two pieces of hardboard taped together al...

When underpining a 2 inch sloping moulding using a Cassesse I'm finding the plunger is not making sufficient contact with the slope causing a slight gap on the moulding face although the underside is fine.

Any ideas?

My Morso, which is in a workshop, does develop a very light coating of rust on on its bare metal surfaces when not used for a week or so (it is covered during this time). I was wondering how to prevent this, I don't want to coat in oil as this will get onto the mouldings? Any suggestions appreciated...

I've recently taken delivery of a second hand Morso but this did not come with an instruction manual and I believe the factory is on a summer shutdown. So can someone tell me what adjustments are available and the correct method for fitting blades. The reason: I'm finding that the last 'sliver' cut ...
