Cutting deep rebate mouldings

Post by ChrisG »

I looking at Lion's rebate support height extenders (ref 6143) as they are considerably more economical that Morso's tall rebate supports, anyone any experience of the former?

Also how does the Morso cope with deep rebate mouldings to date I have always used a chop service?

If you only cut deep rebate moulding occasionally then put your rebate supports to max height +/- and make up the gap with small pieces of mountboard cut into strips.

Like Steve most deep rebate moulding I use are flat profile so I cut upside down apart from a horrid polymer a customer insists on but that can be cut without the supports.

A bit of 1/2" approx square timber about 6" long. Chop in half on morso. Tack onto rebate supports with d/s tape.

Simples. :D

I use the extra height rebate supports, they work up to 40,0. Never looked back, no fiddling about, stay on the machine all the time. Only drawback is the price. Worth shopping around for a pair though.

I use the Lion ones. Can't fault them. The morso f is fine for deep rebates but not in hard woods.
