Pneumatique underpinner

Post by Godderz »

I’m looking to buy a pneumatic underpinner having used a Cassese one recently. A real time saver.

Alfamachine U200p looks like an ideal bench top underpinner (I’m going to adapt the bench so it sits flush with the surface), and A+ Automation do the A-3p which looks very similar although a little pricier.

As anyone any experience with either of these?

I see the U200p doesn’t have the automatic clamp that the A-3p does and wonder if this would be a problem as that feature on the Cassese was brilliant?

Thanks 🙏

Hi Godderz,
Come and try the Alfamacchines at Framers Equipment in Northampton we have them ready to try.

I agree the Cassesse was a great machine and the clamping made light work off framing.

But the Future is the Alfamacchines, you have to try the different models and see which machine suits your needs.

Please bring along the profile moulding you like to use and we will help you get the best results.

Kind regards
Mitreman :D
