Morso fence question

Hello all I am sure this is a really stupid question but here goes. If I set the fences like the manual says I get an inside gap on the last join.Therefore I need to move the left fence towards me to get 45 degree cuts. Does that mean I need to physically bend the moulding to make it slightly concav...

Re: Another gap issue

Aprreciate the replies guys. The picture shows unpinned unglued moulding. I just assumed that the two pieces should have a good join even before pinning..ie resting against each other. I will try cutting some lengths without the rebates to see if that helps. Will also try the other blades I have. He...

Another gap issue

Hi everyone After cutting two pieces of moulding with my morso I set them loosely on the bench to see if there are any gaps. I have noticed that if just place them together without glue or anything there is a gap all the way down. Its not as if the gap is front or back, its just a straight gap. I ca...

Re: Underpinner Problem

So after two weeks of taking apart and cleaning, reassembling, rinse and repeat I have sorted the problem. Unbelievably all it took was a couple of sprays of WD40 on the shaft that is connected to the pressure pad to loosen the dried grease and it now works like a dream. Thanks again for everyone's ...

Re: Underpinner Problem

Thanks for all the advice. The only parts I cleaned where inside where the firing mechanism. I didn't touch the pneumatic piston or the connecting shafts. Looking at 'Not your average framers' suggestions I think number three looks the most likely. A while ago the hammer got jammed and I had to take...

Re: Underpinner Problem

Any idea what i should tinker with regarding synchronisation? Its pretty basic machine. Air goes into pedal and then spits in two into piston (push and pull i assume). There are no setting to alter so don't really know what to do.

Re: Underpinner Problem

I completely agree that the pad is rubbish. Any chance of a photo of the widget your talking about prospero? If I move the pad down to pretty much touch the moulding it still lifts slightly. I have discovered that when it is working correctly and I double pin, the next pin starts causing the lifting...

Re: Underpinner Problem

Thanks for the replies. This happens with all mouldings and comes and goes on a daily basis. Here is a video showing what I mean. Compressor just happens to kick in on the clip, sorry about that.

Underpinner Problem

Hope someone can help me with this problem. I have a old Euro underpinner (I think) that my father used for years without any issue. He recently passed away and I have kind of taken up the reins of the business. The problem is that when the pin is fired up into the moulding the frame lifts slightly ...
