would you use them a lot?

On the odd occasion I have a moulding that too deep I simply cut a couple of pieces of backing board and stick them on.

It I am cutting deep rectangular profile mouldings, which are two deep for the rebate supports, I turn the moulding up side down and cut it like that. It works just fine! I'm often producing deep box frames and this is how I cut the mouldings on the Morso. Many of my deep box frames are produced with equal dimensions on all sides, it just saves at lot of fiddling around that way!

I have a cheap deep pine moulding, which I stock specially for such frames. It help a lot not to produce deep box frames from really thin sided mouldings. With slightly wider mouldings it is easier, too set the wedges a little further in from the outside of the moulding and avoid gaps at the corners. Filling such gaps can be tme consuming when making a batch of deep box frames and I'm not really in to that! Using and sanding all that filler is not much fun!

I bought some and the first tall moulding I tried to use them on was too tall for them.... :roll:
I cut a few pieces of various size wood to fit on top of the standard rebate supports, works a treat.

Make your own out of wood, drill some holes in the pieces of wood and glue some magnets in the holes, so that they stay put on your existing guides. When you are not using them, use the magnets to hold them on to to a convenient place on the Morso. Job done!
