Sorry, no. Sold ages ago...

**** SOLD ****

No longer used as we work with our MG4 day to day - this is just sitting around!
Bought about 18 months ago when we started up and served us well as a first machine.
All working. Supplied with 7 & 10mm wedges, extension arms and wooden stand on wheels (crude but works!).

Note damage to intake ...

Does this help?


I was able to buy a repair kit - can't remember exactly what was in it though...
Video shows disassembly and reassembly of the gun.

Hope this helps.

We got our new Futura 1200 a few weeks ago.
Checked it today after seeing this post, and yes, we are also out by 1mm at the 900 mark.

As it happens I had a call today from Keencut on another unrelated matter so I mentioned this.
It is a known issue with recent printed scales.

They are ...

Logan Graphics Framers Edge 650 Mount Cutter for sale (40 1/2").

We bought this almost a year ago, second hand, to use in our art shop. Since then we have started offering a bespoke picture framing service and the machine was used almost daily.
We've upgraded to a new KeenCut, so this machine is ...

Can't compare to previous years as this was our first expo, and although it was small, we found it very useful.
Met a few people, had some useful chats & demos, and now have an expensive list of kit I want to buy...

Glad we went

David - you're on my list of demos that I want to see!

Do the anti-static brushes work?

Thanks all for your input & thoughts.
I originally, and naively!, assumed the underpinner would be a magic wand. Of course not - just another tool to be used in the right circumstances!
The learning continues...

Just a general topic for discussion rather then a specific question, but thought I'd throw it out there.
We've only been framing about 6 months (as a business service), but picked up a Gielle underpinner with our Morso.
My initial, naive view was just buy moulding, cut with Morso, then glue and ...

Thanks pramsay13

We built our own sub frame in the end

It's all a learning experience!!

Having recently joined the FATG, and started framing!, we are going to the Stratford event.
Hoping to meet a few people and make some contacts - always nice to put a face to a name!!

Yes - thought of that. Just after building the frames!
Mind you, big enough to cut down and use elsewhere, so a possibility.

Thanks for your input.
I'll take a look at the R&H solution.
Otherwise current thinking is to build a simple inner frame, with vertical supports to add the support for hanging and preventing sagging.

Appreciate the forum support - great resource!

Thanks for the reply Jonathan.
I had found PW219 - but I only have 10mm of space at the back of the frame.

But it's given me some ideas for a solution!

Okay - makes sense.
Research sub-frames...

Appreciate the prompt response - thanks.

Hi All,
We have a 'simple' job - it's for staff so a good opportunity for us to practise as we are new to the framing game...
We are framing a large world map poster - 1020x1380mm.
Cheap commercially produced print so no conservation concerns - easily replaceable. Purely being framed for cosmetic ...

Could be a bit of a wait then...!

Hi.
Just wondering whether you ever located a manual?
I have the same machine, but can't find a manual for it anywhere...

Thanks
