The Framers Forum

A visitor has been in today
Her usual framer has retired and she is looking for a new one ,
Neath Swansea Cardiff area
Would anybody like to give me their web details that I can forward to her ?

Yes please for Excalibur

Very interested in keencut excalibur ,
Where are you based?

Hi josh , I recognise this frame it is indeed an old one , I think it may have been from frinton , certainly from a supplier that's now gone , Wessex took up some of their frames may be worth starting there

It's a Larson Juhl , pretty sure they don't do it any more , it came in 2 widths

Thank you , I have used this part , I find it doesn't quite fit as flush as the originals ,
I just see lots of 2nd hand machines on here for sale including bags of the replacement glass wheels!

Does anyone want to sell spare glass cutting wheels , the white one!

Do you have any left ?

Thanks for the responses that were helpful,
yes it does seem being on a contract is slightly cheaper, considering 3/4 of takings is debit card on a much cheaper rate , the credit card rate is 1.2 but you then have a authorisation fee, and rental to factor in .......

I use payment sense /clover for my credit card processing
My contract is ending and am looking into alternatives

Happy to think about square or similar

does anybody use anything that would cut my costs :?: and works well :?:


last month on an approx £10,000 take on credit and debit cards ,cost ...

Buckingham fine arts would do a swap for what you couldnt sell
but i havent seen a rep for around 3 years so no idea if they still do

Yes I have a 4000,
Lion have one for Excalibur that fits part number 1688a that's what I use in mine

I am unable to locate any spares for my c+h , no reply from Nielsen when I emailed them about where to get spares from!

Looking for enough of MO4449 to frame a picture 8 x 9 inches to match an existing set

Jon , Mark Griffiths from TGS repairs , has repaired many of my Fletcher guns, I need to get him to service my underpinned soon so I could pass it on to him? Failing that if you pop in and see me i can lend you ours , we never use it . Give us a ring if you want to do either option

Yes , I had to print off a load of invoices ,( so prefer that my suppliers do the work and post them!)

Also noticed slapped on delivery charges, thought that chop orders were processed in with length orders
yep no surprise at not seeing a rep this year as yet, will be surprised if he has any ears ...

Yes it does,
will upload a pic later

cant view your pic btw

however doubt its causing the problem!!!

its a circular rubber piece that fits in there , I don't think they sell parts for the 4000 any more
