If there isn't enough adjustability on the offset cam (flat washer thingy in your speak) then your front handle has slipped and needs resetting via the two bolts that hold it in position

Model: Pistorius VN-M

Might not be relevant but DK8900 is Danlists (morso) postcode and not the model number.

@ratty I wasn't criticising your method of repair just offering advice to the original poster, the draw bar holders are not an engineered weak point as its these bolts that maintain the blades vertical position (it would be daft to have that as a weak point) Oh and I am a framing equipment engineer ...

The damage to your casing is caused by the pedal tipper frame binding on the horizontal bar, each time you press down on the pedal it is causing the horizontal shaft to rotate which in turn eats away at the case. Repairs to the case are pointless unless you first rectify the fault.

Oops forgot to say there was one on eBay a short time ago which did not sell, maybe contact the seller to check on its availability

Ok i'm curious
can I ask why would anyone want one of those relics? they were a pig to work on and broke very easily, thank goodness I haven't seen one in years.

I now have 2 Morso F mitre guillotines for sale (both have metric scales) One has been fully serviced / paintwork cleaned up for £899 and is in a wonderful condition: http://www.underpinner-spares.co.uk/products/morso-f-guillotine-s-n-69682 and the other one has been fully serviced but is being offe...

No its not normal for an e/h to be going through that much oil, the tank holds 6 litres and the most oil I have seen used by a machine is only 1/2 litre so you must have a leak. Check the small horizontal cylinder under the bed of the table as these are prone to leaks, if its not then check any moul...

Looks OK on a tablet but what's with the photograph at the bottom of the page which says local picture framer but shows a photo of two Chinese men and a claw hammer! not the best image to choose, and the rotating images with customer testimonials - the faces do not seem to match the names and looks ...

Having now watched all the videos i can now say they are all rubbish if not dangerous, as louisesimon stated the Morso video would be laughable if it wasn't such a stupid way to handle Morso blades. The distributor block was cleaned without removing the guide pin and they forgot to say only the late...

The video showing the changing of the hammer is wrong, the person doing it obviously had a guess as the version of underpinner he was working on has the hammer ball catch which does not need unscrewing to remove the hammer all you have to do is twist the hammer to remove it. Just goes to show don't ...

and Radius outsource the work to Mitre Sharp who are based in Bradford, contact Nigel on 07919892083 i've used him for years and can vouch for the quality of his work.

In answer to your question, no its not a left fence issue as the gap is constant across the mitre.
More likely your rebate supports are incorrectly set (too high or low) or your blades are dull.

I only stock metal handles as the original Cassese ones are cheap plastic and do break internally, these are much better quality.

The Minigraf 4 wedge hammer pressure is none adjustable as it always works at the incoming airline pressure from your compressor, the clamping pressure can be adjusted via the pressure regulator mounted alongside the gauge, the gauge only tells you the clamping pressure - not the machine pressure. W...

All Morso blades i have seen have Danmark stamped into the metal then a four digit code specifiying the date (month/year) of manufacture e.g 01 15,
newer blades also have another series of numbers in a smaller sized stamp further down the blade.

Only the oil insert filter (different brands have been fitted over the years) and 6 litres of iso 32 hydraulic oil need replacing once a year, the o ring and tank filter do not need replacing as the original ones will be fine, the only other item you may need are a couple of control relays ad these ...
