The Framers Forum

Hello all,

This is my first post, as I am reasonably new to framing so please excuse my ignorance. I am looking for either a Keencut Ultimat Gold Mount cutter, preferably 48" but 40" will be ok. I am also looking for an underpinner, either a cassese or Minigraf.

I have just purchased a Morso, so I am upgrading currently from a Mitre Trimmer and Logan 750 mount cutter. I started out just framing paintings we buy from auction, but it developed into firstly doing a few frames for friends and then suddenly turned serious with lots of requests. I have quickly found that my equipment is dreadfully inadequate and through reading through posts on here, the Morso, Keencut or Fletcher mount cutter and a cassese or Alfa minigraf underpinner were the way forward.

If anyone is looking to sell any of these, please let me know. I can arrange shipping for any items through the couriers we use for our Antiques Business.

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Just been in the same boat as you, after a ultimat gold and cassese underpinner, struck lucky on ebay, 3yr old ultimat gold for£350 and cassese c89s and compressor for £450.

Best advice is to keep trawling the ads on ebay and you will strike lucky....

Good Luck
Rob

Hi Rob,

I think that we both had a bit of luck as I think I have purchased the Morso from the same chap. I was watching his items on ebay, but saw that you had done a deal earlier with the cassese so contacted him to get the Morso which I am picking up next week. I will continue the search for the others, as they come up.

I am not sure what you are upgrading from, but if you do have the time, it would be interesting to know how much of a difference they make. I went to have a demo on an Inmes machine yesterday and would ultimately like one of those, but at £1800, that will have to wait for a little while.

Many thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

If it is the same chap, the morso is a tidy machine, and I think he also has a left hand extension as well.

Will let you know how I get on with the new underpinner, my old one is a manual charnwood which is fine and will hang onto it as a backup...

Best Regards
Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks, I am looking forward to my upgrade, if you hear of any other underpinners or mount cutters please let me know.

Cheers

Hi Phil,

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Thanks for that, just added to my watched items.

Just purchased a ultimat gold 48", one year old with very little use, collecting early next week. Still after an underpinner if anyone knows of one going.

thanks for all the help to all.

hi nick,

I have a euro/bucmatic underpinner for sale, its a great machine and has been faultless. very clean and working perfectly. It has full height stand, 3 heads and step pedal, the head takes 7-10mm wedges. You would have to purchase a compressor to run it.
I can send you through some pic's if you require (send your email address). The sale price is £350, I will be putting it up on ebay in the next few days, however i thought it may interest you.
Im based in falmouth, so it would take you 3 hours to get here.
regards stu
