Pneumatic Morso pulling moulding up out of clamps

Post by Gingernix »

Hi Folks,
I've got an old fashioned pneumatic morso which is great on narrow moulding but when I put anything broader than 3cm it pulls it out of the clamps- usually causing damage by hitting blade guard. Had to ask my neighbour to come and help hold down moulding while I tried to cut it.
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
Thanks folks

Have you tried cleaning the face of the blades? in my experience this only happens when either the blade face has residue on it or the blades are getting blunt.
