morso cutting issues/peter bingham guide to adjustment

[grahamh]

Hello all...I confess to being a 'newbie' having acquired a Morso guillotine and Giele underpinner on ebay and a lot of mouldings and mountboard to practice on during my furlough leave/now statutory notice. At the moment this is for friends and family until I am sufficiently proficient. Generally mostly happy other than some inconsistency with the mitre joints...sporadically some open jointing on the outer corner. I did have the blades sharpened so hopefully not that and found the manufacturers instructions online but no great joy, possibly an appropriate reward for buying unseen on ebay. I did see that Peter Bingham had done an article on his method of adjustment - would anybody have a link to that or a copy to give that a try.
Or any general advice appreciated.
Best wishes,
Graham

Graham,
Give me a ring sometime and I will talk you through it.
If you buy of E- bay expert problems and missing bits, so it's always worth getting your machine serviced and checked by a professional like my brother Peter at Framers Equiomemt. I have know people want to give up because they don’t have the machine calibrated and don’t know the correct procedures. It's always best to get some Basic training and to know your machines are correct before you start. Then it's just down to the user and choosing good materials and plenty of practice & training.
Kind regards

Hi Graham,

It is interested that you mentioned Pete Bingham's method. Pete binghan worked with a certain Mr Stanlck at Magnola Mouldingd as the two members of the Magnolia Mouldings machinery department. Jan and Peter Stanlick are Mr Stanlicks two sons. Jan does the training courses and Peter travels around servicing and repairing equipment for many different framers. You started off mentioning Pete Bingham and now you a talking with Jan. I just thought that you might be interested in knowing the connection. I spent five days being trained in hand finishing with Pete Bingham in 2005 and Peter Stanlick came down to supply and installi a Fletcher Terry 3100 wall mounted flat material cutter about a year ago. I first meet Peter when I was working at Triton Galleries where I was trained to be a framer, so there's a few interesting connections here.

Pete Bingham always recommended cheacking that the Morso blades were sharp by testing them by cutting toilet paper. If you get a perfect cut with the Morso cutting toilet paper the blades were sharp. Peter stanlick is due to come down to see me to sell me a Fletcher Terry 2100 mount cutter, he has also supplied the missing parts for a Fetcher Terry 1100 oval cutter which I got there an ad on this forom Sales and Wants section. I am a big fan of Fletcher Terry mount cutters and wall mounted flat material cutters. I think that you are in good hands with Jan and hope that you and your Morso will soon be sorted.
