Hi All,
Has anyone got/or come across a Hansen mitre guillotine? 2001 model. Because I cut a frame last night first time using this guillotine and two corners were excellent but two corners was way off with a gap at the bottom of the mitre and any thoughts on this?

They happen to be on the left hand mitre cut but this guillotine has s fixed fence not like the other ones where can move the angle so could it be the blades? It is a second hand machine off a retired guy but he said it was a great machine.

Any help would be great thanks in advance.

Adam

I have 2 Hansons, most of the bits on these machines are directly interchangeable with the morso, I am led to believe they actually are Morso parts on the machine, any adjustments you need to make are Identical to the morso, there is a lot of info on here about them.

OK that is not the models I have, I think that is a much older design , and completely different from the morso.

I do believe Mikey had this model, he might be able to shed some light on it, I think he has retired, worth asking though.

Just noticed you got it off a retiree, bet that was Mikey's guillotine.

Yeah i thought it was an old one and I picked it up from Essex if that is where mickey lives. He is still on here at all? I thought about putting new blades on to see.

It was Mikey's.

You could try emailing him.
