Cassese CS89 Frame Joiner / Underpinner

Cassese CS89 Frame Joiner / Underpinner

• Model Number: CS89
• Item Under Warranty: No
• Can Item Be Inspected On-Site: Yes
• Reason for Selling: Replaced it with a newer Cassese, and I am downsizing my studio, so I no longer have the storage space."

From the Seller: "The Cassese CS89 was used regularly, daily, approx. 20 frames a week, for many years up until 2019. From 2019 until 2021 I was the main user, but it was not used nearly as often, approx. 5 frames a week. At some point we began to have issues with the plunger not releasing, or something like that. We replaced several parts, but I cannot remember which or how successful the changes were. Eventually we stopped using it, but from what I recall, it was working. Comes with air hose, as seen in photo."

***Manufacturer's Information:

The CS 89 Pneumatic Underpinner has been specially designed for joining wood, plastic and MDF frames in all profiles. It combines the best qualities of Cassese's most sophisticated models at a very competitive price. The quality of its finished joint is such that no retouching is necessary. Joining is effected with metal wedges made to draw the joint tightly together. The mechanical strength of the joint means that frames can be handled immediately after joining. The pneumatic double-function pedal permits the user to clamp the mouldings and then to insert the wedges. The vertical presser permits joining mouldings of various height with no readjustment of its position. The machine is designed to be used from either front or back.

• Air operated floor stand Underpinner
• Fast and easy to use. Suitable for both custom framer or contract framer
• Horizontal clamp to maintain moulding position during the joining process
