... summa last year. They intend to expand the UK market https://bigpicturemag.com/summa-acquires-valiani/ Simons are still the main distributor but mainline are also doing the entry level machine and some accessories now. I had a val from 2009 - 21 and it never let me down - the software did but ...

I also use Mainline and am very happy with the service and the quality of the work.

Mainline Mouldings - cannot fault their service and they use a genuine Morso machine for sharpening

We've used them for years and highly recommend. Easy pick up and drop back to you via Royal Mail/Parcelforce.

Not sure if exclusive to Mainline. I will have a search to see if anyone else does this. Thanks.

Is it exclusive to mainline? Many suppliers buy stuff from the same places.

It is also worth asking Mainline if they had a customer who bought a lot of it, who might still hold some stock. Due to GDPR they'd have to get in touch with them direct, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

We've had contact from suppliers for similar reason over the years.

I don't suppose anyone has a few lengths of 007-4914 from Mainline Mouldings that I could buy. A customer chose this for 3 pictures this morning but it is now discontinued stock.

Thought I'd try here first before calling her back to let her know.

Thanks

We’ve tried various places over the years with varying results, but switched to Mainline quite some time ago. Always superb service and on a Morso sharpening machine. Picked up and delivered back without problem and easy to book online or by phone. https://www.mainlinemouldings.com/index.php?DepartmentID=13 ...

... at all. My underpinner loves theses blades too. I’m not sure whether these not so good blades can be made better by proper sharpening. I now get MainLine to do the sharpening and am fairly happy with them.

... About the only option left would be to hand finish a bare wood moulding to suit, but not everyone wants to do that, so sorry, not that helpful! Mainline always used to carry a pretty good range of different coloured mouldings, so you might find something in their current range, which permits ...

Try MUNKEN from LION or Mainline
MUNKEN'S main feature is that its speck free

I have one internet framer (20 employees) in Germany who only uses MUNKEN. Nothing else

Mainline are the source for Polcore mouldings. I used to buy these, but I now only use wooden mouldings, so I have stopped doing this. Howeer, Mainline's range of finished wooden mouldings are very impressively finished. Pricewise ...

Mainline are very good and I have ordered mouldings from them. Their polcore range is good and in some cases unique in certain embossed type mouldings. They are my go to for Morso blade sharpening and my blades always come back in tip top form.

This is fantastic guys thank you very much. I will look at these businesses and see whats what.

As an aside, what are the members thoughts of Mainline as a supplier?

Thanks again.

... overall finished moulding suppliers in the UK? When I say best I mean service, price, range/choice etc overall. I got a few practice lengths from Mainline who seemed fine and the lengths arrived quickly and in good condition. What are your thoughts please? All the best James

... how best to go about getting a good clean cut The obeche A165 seems softer than I'm use to getting from R&H My morso blades were sharpened by Mainline about 6wks ago and seem ok on all other mouldings I'm using. All advise would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Debbie

... what I can expect to pay per meter. Is it always the case that I’d need to open a trade account to get the best deals? I live around 15 mins from mainline mouldings but their range isn’t the most expansive… I’m planning to re-introduce pre-made frames after having some time off making/selling ...

We get van deliveries from Centrado and Wessex which are never ever late. Fab service. We get courier deliveries from mainline, dj Simon’s, Lion & Larson Juhl. They mostly use either Tufnell or Dx and locally both of these companies are very reliable, I can’t remember the last missed ...
