Mitre Trimmer

There are two models of this machine available VMM and SMM. Only the measuring systems are different. The standard machine, most commonly used by joiners and picture framers is the VMM.

VMM The professional foot operated mitre guillotine as used by picture framers and joiners all over the world. The 'byte by byte' system allows timber of up to 4" wide to be precisely measured and mitred. A sliding vernier measuring system accounts for moulding rebate width when setting the length stop. Cast iron tables and a steel floorstand ensure this machine will remain accurate throughout many years of work. Although normally set up to cut at 45 degrees for a four sided frame, the fences can be adjusted to cut 6 or 8 sided frames. The new premium quality knives supplied as standard are the hardest available anywhere.

SMM This model is preferred by some picture framers as the measuring system is quicker to use. The table top is marked with lines running at 45 degrees and a scale so that no measuring of the rebate width is needed before you make the cut. The cast iron table is longer on this model to accommodate the full 1500mm cutting length.

Both models supplied with measuring system, left hand extension table which extends the bed by 770mm, rebate supports, premium resharpenable knives, adjustable fences, waste chute, collection bag and cutter guards.

Optional Items;
ARS Automatic rebate support attachment used to speed up cutting when using wider rebated material. The rebate supports are automatically kept in the correct place when the head moves forward or backwards during the cutting cycle.

In a busy workshop a spare set of blades is essential when the original blades are sent away for sharpening. Our blades, supplied in pairs, are compatible with other brands of guillotine such as Morso and Hansen.
PK Premium quality knives are manufactured from a special hardened steel and are proven to be harder than any other blades available. They are precision ground and honed.
SK Standard quality knives are the traditional type ideal for working mainly in softwoods.
RK Reversible knives are a more economic option when working with narrower materials, up to 60mm wide, because the blades can be reversed to double the life in between regrinds.

EHK The extra height kit consists of two side feet and an extended pedal to lift the working table height to 1040mm, which is more comfortable for taller operators.

SC When the guillotine is situated up against a wall, emptying the waste bag is an awkward job. The Side Chute brings the waste chips around the side of the machine for collection in a box.

The Mitre Trimmer is an excellent addition to the home framers workshop. If you are currently cutting frame moulding with a power saw, or a cheaper quality suspension saw, then the mitres can be improved to near perfect by trimming them in the guillotine.
The most acceptable method of cutting for the professional framer is with a Morso Guillotine... not power saws!! These guillotines have been on the market for over 50 years and produce a near perfect mitre. So the mitre Trimmer is a practical alternative, and they produce a better mitre than a disc sander.
The Mitre Trimmer's super sharp, solid, hollow ground blades leave a clean, smooth cut. Use the Trimmer to shave off a thin piece of the timber to ensure an accurate 45° cut. First cut the moulding into 4 pieces approximately 5mm (1/4") longer than required. This will allow sufficient length to trim the ends for perfect joints every time.

The Trimmer will trim material up to 125mm (5") wide and 100mm (4") thick. Cuts many angles from 90 through to 45° and can be calibrated to ensure accurate mitre cuts. The Trimmer will cut all types of timber, including very hard woods. Blades can be re-sharpened many times over to maintain a quality cutting edge.

Ideal addition to any workshop, especially if your current power/manual saw is not cutting at exact 45°.
