The Framers Forum

Hi everyone,

I have been reading the forum for some time but this is my first post.

I would like to know if anyone has had any experience using a Kimberley hand opreated underpinner, if so what is your opinion of it. I had considerd a Logan pro joiner but have read some poor reports about it.
Thank you.

FrameArt, Welcome to the forum where you can view and collate some good opinions here.
Whatever you do please dont scrimp on machinery, this can have a hopeless effect on you and your framing..Do try to buy a Morso, and do try to buy a good underpinner of Cassese quality rather than rely on something d.i.y otherwise you will never realise your potential..save and save for what you need and you will be very satisfied with the outcome..Good Luck in your decisions..Norrie

Hi FrameArt, and welcome to the forum.

Good advice from Norrie.

Also keep an eye on eBay and on the classified ads in your local paper, you might just pick up a bargain.

Hi,

Thank you both for your replies and good advice.

Hi

I agree with John & Norrie.

I've wasted a couple of hundred pounds on equipment I wished I never got!
Such as the steel strap clamp, pushmaster and matt master from Frameco.
Although it got me into framing I quickly realised that these did not work that well.
I now have a Morso and Cassess underpinner, which work great !

Buy the best , half measures never work!

Best Regards

Gary

Hi Guys. Good advice from Norrie.
When I was setting up, I went for the cheapest option. They didnt last too long.

Its a 'Spend to Save' option now. Spend as much as you can afford on GOOD Proven equipment and they will last you a long time. Hence the saving.

Good Luck
