General Description
MORSØ-F mitring machine is an invaluable help to make perfect 45 degrees mitres in
wooden mouldings for Picture Framers, and general woodworking, including Dado railings,
Architraves, skirting boards and kitchen and bedroom wood mouldings.
MORSØ-F is a manual foot-operated machine. The operation is simple and effortless.
MORSØ-F mitring machine is provided with an adjustable moulding measurement stop,
measuring scale for both length and width, available in metric and imperial, adjustable fences
from 45 degrees through to 90 degrees on either side of the knife block, plus adjustable
rebate supports.
MORSØ-F cuts a double mitre at 45 degrees and a single mitre up to 90 degrees.
MORSØ-F allows you to achieve a perfectly smooth, clean, and accurate finish, by nibbling
the work piece in two cuts. Movement of the knife block (nibbling) forward and rearwards is a
manual operation on the MORSØ-F.
The forward movement of the knife block is so arranged, that the final movement is half that
of all previous movements, and is known as the ‘trim cut’.
A unique lever system ensures the cutting operation is effortless, and double return springs
return the knife block to the start position.
The vertical movement of the knife block (length of stroke) is adjustable to suit the height of
the work piece.
The pieces of moulding can be cut so accurately that they can be joined without further
finishing.

Machine Description
The MORSØ-F is constructed as a compact machine with a sturdy frame (1) and built in lever
system (46) (not shown).
The cutting assembly is situated on top of the machine.
The knife block (4) slides up and down in the slide frame (10) fitted at the cross (11), and
forwards and rearwards in the guides (12) and a cross guide in the table (2).
The razor sharp knives (5) bolted onto the knife block (4) effectively cut the mouldings.
The forward and rearward movement of the knife block assembly is operated manually by the
lever (1 ) at the front of the table (2).
The vertical movement of the knife block is achieved by pressing the foot pedal ( 4)
downwards. The built in lever system makes this operation effortless. Double heavy duty
return springs (42) (not shown) return the knife block to the start position.
The moulding is placed on the table (2) against the fences (17) + (18) which has been
adjusted to the required angle (usually 45 degrees), and the rebate supports ( 1) are
adjusted to the height and depth of the moulding rebate.
The required length of the moulding is selected by movement of the moulding stop block (2 )
and the stop beam (25). Measurement of the work piece length can be read off the
measurement facility (26) located on the table extension ( ).

Description of the ever System
The cutting movement is achieved manually.
The vertical length of the stroke of the knives is adjusted at the factory to 165 mm, but this
can be re-adjusted to max. 200 mm, if necessary, (see chapter F-6).
The cutting action is achieved by a foot operated lever mechanism.
The pedal ( 4) is pressed down.
The foot pedal tipper ( 5) pulls the draw bow ( 8), draw bar (40), and the knife block (4)
down.
Double return springs (42) ensure the pedal ( 4) and knife block (4) are returned to the start
position when the foot pressure is relieved from the foot pedal.
There is an adjustable pedal height stop facility (41), which can also be used as a safety
feature to lock the knife block and knives in the down position.

Cutting Method
Prior to operation, the knife block (4) is in its topmost position and the sliding frame (10) in its
rearmost position.
If the moulding to be cut has a rebate, the rebate supports ( 1) are adjusted to the required
height.
The forward and rearward movement of the knife block (nibbling facility) is achieved manually
by moving the lever (1 ) into one of the notches available in the tooth arc (16), which is
suitable for the first cut.
To prolong the life of the knife blades, and achieve a perfect finish, three or four ‘nibbles’ of
the moulding should be made, remembering that the final notch is half the distance of the
remainder of the notches, and should always be used, as it is the ‘trim’ cut.
The pedal ( 4) is pressed downwards, and the cut is made. Relieving the foot pressure
allows the double return springs to return the knife block (4) back to the start position ready
for the next cut.
The lever (1 ) is now moved a couple of notches further to the right, depending on the
hardness of the wood, and the next cut is made. The penultimate cut should ALWAYS be
made on the next to last notch, allowing the final cut to be the ‘trim’ cut.
Even with small mouldings it is recommended to adopt this procedure, because even though
the machine is capable of cutting through quite large mouldings in one cut, the drawbacks
are many, including bruising the moulding, shattering synthetic mouldings, reduced knife
blade life, poor finish and excessive foot pressure required.

Dimensions of Work Piece
Using the diagram both the width and height of the cross section of the work piece can be
determined.
The knife line determines the max. height.
On the right (vertical) measuring scale the height can be read, and on the horizontal
measuring scale the width can be read.
Please Note:
The factory preset the cutting height to 145 mm as standard.
Should you require a max. cutting height of 185 mm.
Please see Service, page F-6.

In General
The machine is delivered assembled ready for use, except for the table extension ( ) and
divided beam (26) which are disassembled during transit. The machine comes complete with
all standard equipment.
NOTE:
a. After unpacking, and prior to initial operation, REM VE THE TRANSIT L CKING PIN
located in centre of the machine table (2), and coloured black/yellow.
b. The knife block (4) is moved midway between the fences (17-18) and maximum
rearwards travel, and the waste chute is fitted.
The distance between the location of the machine and any wall or obstruction should be as
per C-1. The machine may be secured to the floor with suitable screws through the two holes
in the base frame of the machine. Although the machine can be operated without being
secured to the floor, we do recommend as a safety measure that you secure it in its location
as soon as practicable.
CAUTION:
Before each and every operation, ensure that all safety protection devices are in place
and correctly fitted.
Fitting of the Table Extension and Divided Beams
Before fitting the table extension ( ) both the table extension ends and the table end (2)
where they abut must be scrupulously cleaned, including screw holes and pins. The tiniest
amount of grit may prevent correct alignment.
After cleaning, the table extension ( ) is offered up to the table so that the pins (27) align with
the pin holes. A second pair of hands is extremely useful here, and the bolt (28), which is
supplied, can be inserted into its hole and tightened with a 19 mm socket wrench.
The divided beam (26) can now be attached to the table extension ( ). Located with the pins
(29) which are part of the table extension, and secured with the fixings provided ( 0).
(An extra table extension, complete with supporting leg is available as an accessory).
