One of my customers has decided to retire and has the following for sale: 1 x Cassese 486xl Underpinner - approx 3 years old 1 x Cassese 939 multi angle mitre saw (3 phase) 1 x Morso E/H (3 phase) - approx 3 years old 1 x Fletcher 3100 wall mounted cutter - approx 3 years old if anyone is interested...

To be perfectly honest you should be employing an engineer to install your Fletcher not doing it yourself. The Fletcher (if new) requires the measuring scales calibrating, the cutting angle checking and the cutting head tracking setting as well as ensuring it is securely attached to your wall. Havin...

Looks like an old Kimberley Mitre vice / underpinner that Lion used to sell.
Give them a call and speak to Stewart their engineer he may have spares for it.

Yes you've got to remove all the grease by removing the blades and wiping down with white spirit or something similar, don't leave any grease on the blades as over time moulding chips will stick to it. Watch your fingers as the blades are bloomin sharp, i usually get a cut or two when i'm installing...

No they don't have pneumatic clamps hence the moulding tends to rise with the blade head - so no leaning over the Morso or you get a face full of moulding.
The E/H model (electro/hydraulic) does have clamps but this machine is in excess of £4000.

Hi Guzzijim When you use any Morso you hold the top of the moulding with your fingers and if somebody converted this machine to foot operated your likely to loose a few fingers if not your hand. (and get a visit from the Health and Safety) I've repaired a few of these and i think the seller is being...

The cs55m fence's ( and various other parts ) differ from the Morso as they also have a locking pin which won't allow adjustment unless you first remove it.

Regards

Your model number is Cs55m

If you didn't get a manual with the guillotine it can be downloaded from Cassese:

Good Luck

Martin - Thanks for the recomendation Beatifulbanjo, The fault on your Cs810 is very common and is down to two key components failing which are still available to purchase as i have them amongst my car stock, one is very cheap to buy the other as Martin has already said is not so cheap but without e...

Your Cs810 has a air regulator / filter unit already fitted to the inside of it's case, you would only need a new regulator if you wanted to run a compressed air tab/staple gun from the same compressor as they operate at about 4bar.

The Proturner underpinner was made to accept the Cassese plastic chutes (after all it uses a Cassese hammer) but Cassese changed the design of their plastic chutes a few years ago and hence the very early Proturners were no longer compatible unless you replaced the wedge distributor block to match t...

Spit Your money = your choice If shoving a block of timber in the back of a Excalibur cures its problems then i would be out of a job, happily there are more problems than its worth. (and the Fletcher is Cheaper) Osgood how come every time someone asks a underpinner question you copy and paste a Cas...

Glad your happy with the 44

Regarding the Excalibur do yourself a favour and buy a Fletcher 3100 instead, its a far superior cutter and will give you consistant cuts for many years (unlike the Excalibur)

The 486 in the video clip is old as the new machines now have a height adjustable top bung and horizontal jaws
that go below the bed of the table when they retract.
Anybody thinking of buying one should look for those features or you will end up with the old version.

Moglet Scoop mouldings are easier to join if you make a small "jig" from the same scoop moulding you are wanting to join. Cut two small chevrons on your morso with the rebate pointing towards you (opposite way round to normal)then pin them together. You now have a chevron with the profile ...

Hey Osgood are you on commission from Cassese?
Maybe i will ask them when i next go over.

Hmmmm 12 years without a good joint maybe a bit more practice needed

Minigraf 44 Beats the Cs299 into the ground and is cheaper too!!

If you do have to have a Cassese go for the Cs88 as the Cs89 is nowhere near as good even though it is pneumatic.
BTW
(the Cs299 does have a spring for the wedge feed that does need changing)

The older mountcutters did indeed use "Stanley type" blades and some of the members here should bear in mind that just because theirs doesn't use them it doesn't mean nobody elses does. Washy 21, i know you've read the manual but ive attached a scanned page from the manual that may help yo...

For Sale 1 x Morso "F" Mitre Guillotine (with waste chute) 1 x Taurus 993 Pneumatic Underpinner (with tilt adjustable stand) The Morso & Taurus have been fully serviced by myself (yes i am a service engineer) using genuine manufacturers parts and i would prefer to sell them as a packag...

First of all your top clamp pad isn't more than 1 1/4 inch above the top of the moulding is it.If it is then lower it. If not do the following to test where the fault may be: Remove the distributor block & wedges and try operating the machine - does it still stick? If it does then push down the ...
