Re: Morso blade sharpening

Wow - Mainline seems to be the overwhelming choice. Trouble is, their headline price of 'from' £13.50 comes out close to £37 with return shipping and VAT, which on a single set of blades gets quite expensive. Maybe that's what ...

Re: Morso blade sharpening

Mainline for us too - so easy to book them in online, then they are collected and delivered back to you. Postage is a cost factor which you have to take into account and so we tend to send 3 sets at a time which makes it more ...

Re: Morso blade sharpening

Mainline for me too, I believe their blade sharpening machine is actually manufactured by Morso.

Problem with Wessex and Centrado is you are likely to have a good couple of weeks delay before your blades re-appear, Mainline usually turn round the same week.

Re: Morso fence alignment

... Usually a gnat's whisker is all that's needed. If you overcook the tweak then you will start to get a gap. You say that the blades were ground by Mainline, so they should be good. You could try removing them and check that they are seated correctly - no bits between the blade and block and also ...

Morso fence alignment

... near right I have had to pull the left fence (as you look at it) toward me by quite a bit (see pic). I have just had the blades sharpened by Mainline, although the problem was there before the sharpening, & I'm confident that I fitted them back well, with no dirt behind the blades. The ...

Re: Morso blades - where to buy?

I bought my latest brand new set recently from Mainline's web site, simply because they were the lowest price of all the suppliers with them in stock at the time, and delivered next day.

Re: A plea to moulding distributors

... but... Surely keeping your website up to date is a fairly basic part of running a business now? The only decent websites I've seen are Lion and Mainline. Everyone else's is full of discontinued lines and doesn't have new lines. I do feel like we give suppliers a lot of leeway because many framers ...

Deep Black Gloss moulding - polcore/artcore suppliers ?

Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

A lot of canvases end up on rigid bars and are stretched on machines. I'm thinking the typical mass-produced digital prints. "Wall Furniture" as I call them. Often the canvas is a plastic-based concoction and they don't react with ambient conditions in the same way a 'proper' painting does...

Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

That means that so far, we have systems / mouldings by length from Mainline, Wessex and I know that Simons also offer a slotted moulding and an acompanying flat section for cutting up to make the triangular corner wedges. Anyone know of anymore? I guess that ...

Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

:lol: It appears that I did the same as Mark and followed on from his reply. So this is my reply transplanted from where it was to where it should be. I've used the system that has one slot on the inside. Mostly from Wessex. It comes in three sizes.... The middle one is quite hefty stuff and has two...

Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

Neat idea. :D One drawback is that you can't adjust the tension in one direction only. Knocking the triangle in forces the corner in two directions. OK on most canvases, but occasionally you need to impart tension in one direction and you can only do this with double-mortised corners where you have ...

Friction fit no stapling or gluing required
I found the whole system very easy to use and they felt firm and secure once assembled
