Morso rebate supports
I have just acquired a second hand Morso guillotine.
I am finding that the left and right rebate supports foul on each other if I try to use them both and try to slide them in to touch the moulding. Is this because I am only meant to use one at a time or have I possibly assembled them wrong?

Re: Morso rebate supports
I think I have worked out what I was doing wrong
I was not taking a deep enough bite for my first cut and was pushing the rebate supports in too far - beyond the blade point. If I take a bigger bite first time I can push the supports in far enough
Problem sorted!

Re: Morso rebate supports
That doesn't sound right; your first cut can be as thin as a piece of paper. Put a picture up of your set-up!
Re: Morso rebate supports
Glad the problem is solved.
The rebate supports on the Morso can be a bit clunky to use. You can get this handy add-on
which cunningly holds the supports at a set distance. I find it invaluable and stops the supports
binding in the guides.
Later model Morsos have the two holes in the cutter housing pre-drilled. I had to drill mine.

Re: Morso rebate supports
Here is the picture showing what I mean. The left hand rebate support has been pushed forward and is obstructing the RH one

Re: Morso rebate supports
I bought mine just before Christmas from Lion. I couldn't find it in their catalogue but a quick phone call solved it. I can't recall their reference but I recall the Morso reference number is 0900. They were able to find them from that

Do you remember roughly how much you paid?

Re: Morso rebate supports
Hi, just found the invoice. Part number 2858 £145 +vat. Very useful and handy. Depending on the year of manufacture of your Morso relatively easy to fit. Some Morso's have pre-drilled holes.

Re: Morso rebate supports
I've checked and mine does have the holes. I'm going up to Lion on Monday so will enquire. Thanks

Re: Morso rebate supports
I went up to Lion today and picked one up. Works well and easy to fit.
One warning: don't do what I did and use an impact driver to insert the ST screws. One of them sheared and it was a hell of a job to drill out and fit another
