The Framers Forum

Hello everyone.

I recently came across some equipment from an artist who no longer makes frames for his paintings.

He gave me the equipment and told me to sell them as he doesn't want them.

I don't know anything about framing really so I don't really know where to begin. I'm going to attach 2 images to this and if someone could help me identify the equipment, it would be greatly appreciated. They're going to be on sale so if anyone could also help me price them, that would also be great.

I think the red one is an underpinner and the blue on is a mitre but I'm not too sure.

The red one has a foot pedal and the blue one has a handles that screws in.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

The red one is a manual V nailer used to join the mitered moulding
I believe the second one is a chopper used to cut the moulding.

The red one is a ‘pro turner’ underpinner with extension wings it’s worth about £100

The chopper is more useful to a woodworker than a framer. It will cut frames but is not as good as the floor-standing
machines. You might get £100 for it on a good day.
