Machinery needed, starting from scratch

Post by Cosmic »

Hi, just starting out. I run a graphics company so already have a 1370mm mutoh eco solcent printer, laminator, summa plotter and various other machinery to run this type of business.
Looking to branch out into the framing as i currently produce photos onto 10mm kapa for the local photography studio but want to offer frames aswell and try and build on this side of the business.

Based in Finland, the used market is much smaller so would appreciate some guidance regarding machinery and top brands.

So far from my research i see i need a guillotine, preferably Morso but i have also seen orteguil out here.
Underpinner brands and other machinery i am less familiar with at the moment

Depending on how much budget, space and how much volume you intend to do.
Morso guillotine (or double mitre saw for higher volume)
Underpinner: Alfamacchine, A+Automation, Giele. Sadly Cassesse just went bust.
Mountcutter: Keencut and Fletcher are the two hand mountcutter brands, CMC's I can recommend Gunnar, there are also Valiani and Wizard.
Panel cutters: for glass, acrylic, mountboard and backboard cutting, again Keencut and Fletcher.

Everything you need for framing new or reconditioned.
Sundries and training.
