Morso Height Adjustment

Post by Ash the Framer »

Hi All, any help here would be greatly received. I have been framing for a few years now and most of my range of mouldings are small and stretch up to approx 50mm max. I have been asked to make a frame for someone who wants to use a larger moulding which measures 75mm from front to back and the rear height is 45mm. I have tried a test cut on the Morso and it is 5mm too short to cut the moulding, the blades don’t go high enough.

Basically my question is can you raise the blades/cutting head on the Morso?

Thanks

Ash

Yes , if you look over the top of the cutting head you'll see a fixed rod going down to the pedal mechanism, it's got a bolt either side, loosen the top one and then ajust the bottom one, then re tighten the top one :D

If it's just a small extra bit of hight you need to gain, take off the pedal stop. Hook your toes under the pedal and push it up. Might just do it. :yes:

is it available on chop? (or have you already bought the moulding, if so, sorry, not very helpful)
