The Framers Forum

Good to know. I had this problem for awhile but dont have the same setup any more.

Do they cut fine on other mouldings? As long as they are hollow ground now I would say they would be fine. That definitely looks like the moulding to me. Ye they cut fine on others, I did notice on cheap mouldings they will pull the bottom of the cut so they become lose and i notice when framing th...

Why do you think the blades need changing? As long as they are sharpened properly each time then they should be as good as new each time you put on a sharp set unless they have been badly sharpened. I had a set that got down to the braze line and were still fine ... until the braze gave way and the...

Ye i had thought that might make a difference. i was going to use mount board. Still think the blades need changing too, as they might be helping the chipping

So i need new blades for my Morso. My current ones even freshly sharpened cause the slightest frey/flaking/chipping of the side cut and even times noticed a arch in the side cut http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n539/22rabbits/IMG_1915.jpg The Framers corner own brand are 150 and the Morso branded...

I have a Matpro 120 which I bought second hand, the previous owner had experienced this same problem and overcame the issue by inserting thin shims between the base board and its steel backing frame at the points where the cut was not complete. The backboard must be susceptible to some slight disto...

its a manual pneumatic, mat-pro 150. nice bit of kit too, i just have those two problems.

thanks for the help, really do appreciate it. Does anyone have ideas or history with the valiani?

The mouldings we've been using are really high quality, so can’t see that being an issue. The one that had the most chipping was actually quite an expensive little bugger, a high gloss walnut with a black edge and it was that black edge that chipped/flaked. It’s also been constant with two sets of b...

Hi Niall, hope this helps with a few of yourissues: 1. Could it be the moulding finish that is the problem, i.e. thick coatings, or that the outside joint edge is not closed up enough, o r that morso blades not sharp enough,? 2. Under pinner top clamp might not be set at appropriate height for moul...

Hi everyone, we recently took on the manufacturing of our picture frames in-house and so far it’s had its difficulties but overall going well. To difficulties end we have come to 5 main issues that I was hoping might be solved easily with your help. 1. Our morso is cutting well and clean but after p...

plus one on that

does anyone else know anything about this moulding? i have a few orders that need to go out soon and would like to build the frames myself

ye it is expensive or at least is when we buy the assembled rims. it would probably be too cheeky to ask the framer we were getting them supplied from, but he can get them.

tried to upload a wider photo yesterday with this post but was having problems. the calipers was just a way of showing size

they can be still got by one framer at least is Phoenix the supplier? not heard of them.

if its a damp arean (cold at night) you could do what i done and make a box for the mount board. Iv only had a few weeks but it seems like a good idea for perventing the warping of the board in the night with temp drops. mine is made of one standard MDF sheet 18mm and the lid and base are the same s...

Does anyone know where to get this moulding? We are in Ireland and have gotten it here from a framer, that was before we started framing ourselves. We now want to supply and make them ourselves. 77mm x 46mm with a 24mm deep rebate

are they different layers of mount board?
