Hi all

This is now sold. Sorry for those that asked for details and received no response. For some reason I did not receive notifications that the questions had been asked. Sure it was operator error.

Ah - ok. Glad not something not serious! Thanks

What has happened to Roboframer?

Just saw a post saying he was much missed ...

Hi all Good Sunny Saturday to you all... Have a Pneumatic Matpro 120 Mountcutter likely to come up for sale in early October. This really made a massive difference to my productivity and wastage levels when I first began using 2 years ago. Great bit of kit. I have now decided on stepping up and buyi...

Thanks Propsero

Think I will use 2.5 mdf. I use a vacuum heatpress - will then try and get the customer to pay for a frame!

Hi

Have a customer who wants a poster 120 x 100 mounted on board. No frame. Would you use MDF or Foam board? Many thanks for your advice

At last plucked up the courage to have a throw out and re- work of my shop / workshop. Have to say - very pleased I did. feel much more relaxed and in control when not tripping over left over moulding and frames kept for a rainy day.

Hi all

Anyone recognise this?

Many thanks !

The sound you hear in the distance are my footsteps as I run away! I am trying to learn to say no - however, I am currently trying to frame a "scroll" on canvas - 2M x 1.3m. Don't know why I said yes!!!!!

Sorry all - totally forgot I posted this thread and didn't tick notify. Seems like I may have to bite the bullet and do some housework.. I do make up some ready mades but as others have said - the turnover of them does not reflect the hassle and time. I just hate throwing away good wood! I have a lo...

Thank you#

That looks to be the one!

Most appreciated.

Hi All

Please see attached. the moulding is 2cm x 1.5 cm. I have similar but the customer is keen on this specific one due to grain and the narrow gold sight edge. Any help greatly appreciated.


Many thanks

I am sure this is a perennial topic but what do you do with left overs? I have made remainder frames which sell but not at the rate I accumulate waste and I also dont have the time to spend making them when paying jobs are lined upo. Thing is - I cant bear to throw away good moulding. there probably...

Hi

Sorry - promised to post a pic when done: see attached.

I built a small shelf out of gold moulding. By luck there was also a threaded hole in the top of the centre piece of the belt that allowed me to put a bolt through the boards at the back and secure.

Hi I set up from scratch 3 years ago but in a shop. I bought mostly second hand but did also buy a pneumatic underpinner and later, a second Hand MATPRO 120 pneumatic mount cutter which was the best investment I ever made. I agree - £2000 - £3000 secondhand kid should be a good start. I also did a 1...

Need some advice. Please see attached photo. Customer wants to mount this belt BUT - it must be removable.

Thought about velcro but no good. Any ideas?

Much appreciated.

Didnt think of that. Yes - that seem to work (placing face down) . Blade was new anyway.

Will see how it goes!

Cheers

Hi Have just tried using the New Sky and Lime mount boards from Colourmount - ( Pop art commercial project) - Problem is - the face board seems to tear when cutting on the Valiani Matpro pneumatic cutter. New Blade - still not cutting cleanly yet all other boards cutting perfectly. Anyone else had a...
