Morso UP-M underpinner

Post by SussexSniper »

I have posted this in the welcome page but guess it is probably the wrong place so please excuse me repeating it here. I am also aware of Neil Stout, he is very helpful.
I am relatively new to the framing world having inherited some basic kit. I have just bought a secondhand Morso UP-M underpinner, in not too great condition but it was cheap! Has anyone got for sale a 7 mm cartridge set please? Secondly could I have an opinion on the hydraulics side. Whilst the pressure rod goes down to a stop, the hammer does not want to come up. I have followed all instructions re filling with oil. When I pull the hammer up, it issues fluid from the filler. So it is not stuck. Could it be seals? If so does anybody have a set for sale please? All help in my new venture much appreciated.

Hi, I also purchased a second hand morso underpinner, I can't find any useful videos or information on the Internet showing how to use this machine, have you? I mean like how to change v-nail sizes, how to adjust the head for clamping the frame, its not straight forward like other underpinners seem to be

I have downloaded the DanList technical data from their website. This has a good exploded drawing of parts and how they are assembled. I am just stripping it down and cleaning. As soon as I get a set of seals then I will replace them. The prices for parts are hugely expensive and only available from 2 UK distributors. The hydraulics are such that as the post comes down to secure the frame the plate underneath pushes up the anvil to place the wedge. Other than that ??????

I think your best plan is to make your machine resemble that drawing ..with half a pound of SEMTEX.

I wasn't expecting a post code but that's pretty vague, never mind.

I live in the North ......... of the village of Angmering in the West of Sussex and work in the centre of it. BN164EA.
