Hello! I'm looking at Underpinners (Cassese). My framing will be simple, nothing fancy and the biggest one would probably be A1 size (mainly A3 size).
I understand that the CS88 is the better of the two.. but is more expensive. I need a machine which is simple to use ... I have a morso so my mount cuts will be spot on. Would the CS79 be suffice or should I spend more and go for the CS88.
Thank you!

Re: CS88 OR CS79
I think you mean your mitre cuts!
Your mitre cuts will only be spot on when the moulding is perfectly straight and has no warps or twists, which being a natural product varies from stick to stick. The CS88 gives you the ability to tweak the fences horizontally and vertically, it's a no brainer imho. They are as cheap or expensive as you can find them for. I found mine on marketplace for £100! A set of spares from underpinner spares cost me around £150, but gives me the peace of mind that when something eventually needs fixing I won't have days of downtime waiting for them to arrive.

The CS 88 is definitely the better of the two
