Fillet Master

Post by Comfyjumper »

I posted a while ago about a fillet cutter, and a few of you were kind enough to give me some tips......I bought a Fletcher Fillet Master a few days ago and have just used it, and what a brilliant piece of kit! I realise I am just a tiny cog in the Framers machine and my skills probably pale into insignificance compared to the likes of Robo ect, but first attempt and a perfect fillet for a painting of Walmer Castle! To say I was chuffed is an understatement. :lol: And because it is small, it fits under my workbench in a drawer. Thank you all! :clap:

I am a huge fan of the FilletMaster. :clap:

I ended up doing enough fillets to justify buying the extension so I can cut them for very large mounts (mats) and frames. The “tall” plastic stop blocks are useful on occasion, too.

I so treasure it that I bought a 5 foot length of PVC pipe and put threaded ends on it so I can store and transport the FilletMaster without fear of knocking it out of calibration.
