Hi all,

Looking to upgrade my current Morso and underpinner or add a new machine as a back up.

I would prefer another Minigraf 4 if possible.

Hi everyone,

My machines are needing a good service, can anyone recommend any technicians who cover the greater Manchester area?

Many thanks
Matt

Hi, I normally dry mount large photos by hand using MB/key 90 from D&J Simons. Never really had any issues and it’s been fairly simple over the years. Recently I’ve started to get large volumes of large photos to dry mount (50 size A0 at a time )and was wondering what would be the better option ...

Hey guys, Not really a fan of ready made frames but we get plenty of people asking us for them. I’ve got a potential big order for a good client and he needs the above size and is not too fussed about the frame quality. Where’s the best places to order 20" x 16" ready made frames in bulk q...

We are selling our A1 printer due to the A0 printer we have taking on the bulk of our work so it’s not getting used as much as it should. Only 18 months old and will come with inks and a roll of paper so it’s ready to go straight away. Can be seen working on collection. £1000 with no inks installed ...

Hi, I'm on the look out for a second hand cmc, Wizard is preferred but happy to consider any others that may be available. please contact me if you are looking to sell one.


Thanks

For any wizard users who ever have a burnt out ECU or driver, I have found a local technician who has managed to fix my damaged electrical unit and for a bargain compared to the costs of buying a new ECU.

Please consider this before you purchase new parts from Wizard directly.

ive seen a 2nd hand wizard in working condition for £4K

id be better buying that than the part for the machine from wizard and would have more spares and repairs if needed.

doesn't seem right but its true

if it's that box of tricks, have you thought about a local electronics repair company, one that used to do TV and radio perpairs, maybe they could run some checks on it and replace any blown parts Just a thought :sweating: :oops: surely its worth a go. I will be contacting as many as I can to see i...

I used to be an electronics design engineer and there will be some chips inside the control box which are programed with Wizards own proprietory software. If anything has happened to those you won't be able to replace them without getting those chips from Wizard. But until somebody has actually don...

So I recently posted about my wizard CMC needing a new Part..... having spoke direct to Wizard Europe and knowing exactly what part I need as its pretty obvious, ive been told they won't sell me the part unless I sign up to the "service account" costing an added 750 euros before they will ...

Matt, When I had a Wizard 8500 a few years ago the power supply unit in the main control box failed. Back then support was provided by Framers Corner and they sorted out the problem very quickly. Wizard Europe now provide support to UK machines from Germany. With the best will in the world and (to ...

I can not understand why wizard does have a UK based spares and support organisation of some sort. Surely this is not going to help them to persuade customers to buy new machines. Wizard CMC's have a good reputation in the UK for the mahines which they make, so why make it so difficult for after sa...

Hi everyone,

our very trusty Wizard 8000 has just had its first malfunction in 6 years of steady use.

Can anyone please recommend if the part that's broken can be replaced/repaired?

Thanks in advance for any info

It would seem so yes. I look forward to owning one (if there's any available)

I have a Steeltrak. I bought it second hand with a bundle of equipment. It is a great machine, but designed for sign writers not picture framers. The advantage is that it it beefier that the Excalibur and can easily cut Dibond. The disadvantage is that to cut glass there is an extra section to inse...

Hi all,

Im looking to purchase a wall mounted material cutter.

If anybody is selling one or you can recommend where to purchase one it would be appreciated.

As its my first one I'm happy to purchase older models in fair condition.

Thanks
