Hi everyone

I am a recently retired photographer and been lucky enough to own a Morso F for many years which I have now revived to cut me a nice set of oak frames for a set of exhibition pictures I am preparing. Problem is that she doesn't seem to be cutting as accurately as I would have liked and am getting a small amount of gapping on the inside of the 90 degree angle? Can you advise if this is simply a matter of blade sharpening and resetting, or could it be my underpinning that is the problem? If it is more likely the Morso that needs a service, is there anyone in Lincolnshire who could do this along with the sharpening? Appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you

Hi Richard.

Sharpening the blades wouldn't go amiss, but do a search for "Left Fence Tweak" topics.

As blades dull they can go off track as they cut, especially on hard woods such as oak. This procedure compensates.

Hello Richard and welcome to the FF

I agree with Prospero on both counts.

If you require the name/location of a reliable company to sharpen your blades please get in touch. I am not to far from you if you are passing, pop in.

Peter.
