Another new frame
i have been looking at the site for a while now and thought it was about time i introduced myself. I make frames as a hobby near Bradford, but would like to further this, i have purchased a moro guillotine and a alpha 1m underpinner but would like to buy a more profesional mount cutter(any suggestions please second hand would be better maybe a keencut.) thanks andy

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum.
An ultimat gold is probably what the majority of UK framers use for mount cutting. Good machines I had one myself until I bought a CMC. They do come up second hand but expect to pay £400+ for one, but they are worth it.

Re: Another new frame
Hi Andy from another Andy.
Welcome. I'm new here also.
Like you, I have a Morso guillotine but an M4 underpinner. I have an Ultimat Gold Mountcutter and to be honest you can't really go wrong with it. Once it's set up, apart from changing the blades at regular intervals it's pretty much plain sailing. They can be expensive even second hand but that is purely down to how good they actually are in my opinion. I would love to eventually get a CMC but think baby steps are the way ahead first and foremost.
Welcome again, and if you want to bounce ideas off of a fellow newbie be my guest.
