Cassese CS55M Manual Foot Chopper

The Cassese CS55M (and its updated counterpart, the CS55M2) is a highly-regarded, premium manual, foot-operated mitre guillotine designed for low- to medium-volume custom picture framers. Manufactured by the European brand Cassese, this machine relies entirely on a mechanical lever system, meaning it operates quietly and requires zero electricity or compressed air connections. It utilizes a double set of razor-sharp reversible blades to slice clean, mirror-smooth 45-degree angles on wood and synthetic frame mouldings without creating airborne dust.

Features & Specifications:

- Reversible Blades: Slices both left and right angles simultaneously, leaving smooth cuts that require zero extra sanding or retouching before joining.
- 4-Color Measuring Scale: Equipped with a 1-meter (39.5") measuring arm that features a direct-read color-coded scale, eliminating the need to manually measure the width of your moulding first.
- Ergonomic Foot Pedal: Outfitted with an extra-wide, double-width foot pedal covered in an anti-slip rubber grid, making it comfortable for both left- and right-footed framing operators.
- Tool-Less Blade Adjustment: Allows safe, quick, and user-friendly modifications to the front blade height without needing specialized hand tools.
- Spring-Loaded Support: Features a patented spring-loaded rebate support system to easily and accurately accommodate varying frame profile heights.
- Physical Footprint: Weighs approximately 80 kg (176 lbs) with a frame setup sizing up to roughly 1100 mm in height and 2240 mm in width when the tables are fully extended.
