Morso Model F Mitering Machine (Price new is $4,000 USD / about $5,100 CAD)

Morso Model F mitring machine cuts double mitre at 45° and single mitre up to 90°. Tenon, mortise joints, and a wide variety of angled cuts can also be made.

When using the Morso F, you will have no dust compared to a saw. Also, the waste of your moulding will be minimized as Morso F cuts double mitres very close, ( less than one mm waste of moulding ).

The mitre saw cannot do the mitres as close, and therefore the waste by using a saw, will always be minimum one centimetre.

One centimetre of waste does not sound of much, but if a calculation is done of 100 cuts a day, it actually turns out that the waste over a year is 260 meters waste of moulding…. ( That is only with 100 cuts a day…)

Morso F leaves the cut surface of the wood perfectly smooth and accurate, requiring no further preparation before joining. The horizontal movement of the knife block is stepwise adjustable. The sliding longitudinal stop and measuring scale ensure accurate repeat work.

The special lever system of the machine ensure a very easy operation. Twin return springs automatically bring the knives back to starting position.

Morso F is delivered with safety guard, waste chute, sliding longitudinal stop, measuring scale, adjustable fences ( 45° – 90° ), and adjustable rebate supports.

Morso F is manually operated with a foot pedal – needs no compressor or electricity and can therefore be operated anywhere.

The CS88 & CS89 have been the most popular models in the world for over 15 years, and thus their reputation and reliability are proved. Although manufactured to the highest standards, the prices of the CS88 & CS89 remain very competitive.

FEATURES OF THE CS88 & CS89 :
• Cassese wedges cartridge system
Easy change of wedge size with no need to adjust or change any part
on the machine. All Cassese underpinners are able to use the full range
of Cassese cartridge wedges in 7 different sizes, available in both
softwood and hardwood.
•Adjustable joining angle
It is possible to adjust the joining angle of the fences to correct the gap
if the cutting angle is not perfectly at 45°.
• Patented self-adjusting fences
Are adaptable to the shape of any moulding profile, to prevent gaps in
the top or bottom of the join.
• Horizontal rebate clamp
Secures the moulding pieces together to ensure perfect alignment of the
mitres while joining.
• Quick-Change top clamp
To adjust between softwood and hardwood and different mouldings’
shapes.
• 2 positioning stops
(front and back) allow wedges to be stacked up, even in hardwood.
• Unique triangular design table
Makes it easy to adapt to the corner of a workbench, which assists in
supporting the frame while joining.
• CS 88 Foot operated
Mobile foot pedal
The pedal position can be easily changed between the back or the front
of the machine, and can also be set up for either left or right foot
operation.
Unique pulley and cable drive system
Multiplies the force applied on the foot pedal more than 3 times, thus
making it easy for the operator to drive wedges into the hardest timbers.
• CS 89 Air operated :
Pneumatic double-stage pedal
Permits the operator to clamp the mouldings and visually check the join
before inserting the wedge.
No pressure adjustment required
When changing between softwood and hardwood.
