Re: new framer advice on underpinner
Be very careful when buying an underpinner on e.bay unless you know someone in the trade who can go along with you to have a good look at it.If you are looking to start a small framing business I would have a look at one of the Cassese Underpinners.They are well made and if looked after not much to go wrong with them.
If you are doing framing as a hobby then take a look at one of the Inmes underpinners.They are relatively cheap and do a good job.Give Lion a ring and ask for a catalogue to be sent out to you.

Re: new framer advice on underpinner
Hi Susanh
I would look at the CS59 if your looking for an entry level underpinner. You always know with Cassese that very little will go wrong and that you have the support and backing of one of the framing industries top makes. The CS59 was bought in for newer people to the industry and is very simple and easy to use and would be right up your street!
Let me know if you need more information on it and i'll send you a pdf of what its about, but you can get these from most of the top suppliers in the UK and Ireland (.......including us!!).
Hope this helps and good luck!!

Re: new framer advice on underpinner
Hi Susanh,
I recently picked up a well used Cassese CS88 along with a bench morso chopper from a framer that sells on various framing equipment in conjunction with framing/training. I was a little apprehensive at the time as it was clearly mentioned that the underpinner required some TLC; however after some trial & error I quickly worked out how it all worked and am now very happy with my mitre joints. I paid approximately £275 for the underpinner compared with the new price of around £1100, so that's a fair saving over new. Compared to my original Logan Pro-joiner the CS88 is absolutely fantastic.
Check out the various framing training providers and see if they have any secondhand equipment available.
Good luck,
Allan

Hi susanh
I was new to the picture framing industry last sept 08 and like you I was in a tiz. I contacted Lion and brought a ex demo CS 79 off them for £420. I must say the results we are getting are excellent the mitres are nice and tight and have had no problems with the Casesse. When I upgrade I shall certainly look at the Casesse range first.
I hope this helps
Good Luck
Adrian
