The machine
features a heavy-duty steel frame with cast iron tabletop.
The vertical travel of the cutting head, which is also made
of cast-iron, can be adjusted depending on workpiece thickness,
assuring comfortable and efficient operation.
The machine is equipped with two
cast-iron table extension leaves, which are bolted to the
main table. Steel pins provide accurate alignment. Mounted
on top of the table extension leaves are anodized aluminum
fence rails, which offer material support and are used in
conjunction with flip-stops to position multiple cuts along
a stile or rail. These fence rails are also bolted and pinned
to the table leaves.
|
A
center stop assembly in the middle of the machine table is
used to position the rails for cope cuts. The solid aluminum
center stop bar slides in and out and is locked in place with
a thumbscrew. Interchangeable nylon center fittings with fine
adjustment screws are installed in the center stop bar and
are available in different widths, depending on the nose knife
used.
A nylon chip breaker is installed in the machine table. The
chip breaker protects the cutting edges of the knives and
also prevents any tear-out on the back of the workpiece.
Heavy aluminum blocks with two setscrews act as "cock-bead"
stops. These blocks are mounted on steel guide rails next
to the side knives. Once set, the stops limit the forward
travel of the cutting head and assure accurate notching depths.
Because the stops use the beaded edge of the moulding as reference
point, this design completely avoids to problems associated
with systems using the opposite moulding edge instead. |
 |
Knives |
|
The nose knives feature a machined v-groove in the back
to guarantee accurate alignment on the cutting head. In
addition, two counter sunk hex-head screws are used to mount
the nose knives to the tip of the cutting head.
The side knives are bolted to the head with heavy-duty
machine bolts. Slots in the knives allow for lateral adjustment
depending on the width of the nose knife. The side knives
are designed to be compatible with both the small and large
cutting heads for the NFL and NLEH machines.
All MORSO knives are manufactured with custom-made Austrian
steel and are hardened to Rockwell 64. No other manufacturer
of miter cutting and notching equipment offers knives harder
than Rockwell 58!

Upon
adjusting the cock-bead stops to set the notching depth,
the moulding is placed on the machine table and one end
is rested against a flip-stop. The hand lever in front is
used to move the cutting head horizontally to and from the
operator. Depending on the width of the cut, the thickness
and hardness of the moulding, two to four cuts are made
to complete the notch. This process takes only seconds and
the resulting cuts are smooth and free of tear-out.

Coping operation
(rails) |
|
Upon adjusting the setscrews in the nylon center fitting,
the stop is moved toward the cutting head and locked in
place. The rail is placed on the table and pushed against
the stop. The 45-degree corner cut on the bead is made in
one cycle, multiple cuts are not necessary. The moulding
is then flipped end-for-end and the process is repeated.

Cutting Head
Details : |
|
To increase the range of applications, we offer matched
smaller cutting heads with each machine. These heads
are fitted at the MORSO factory and can be replaced
in only minutes. The side knives fit on both heads;
only the nose knives differ in design. We highly recommend
the purchase of the smaller head to produce haunch joints
in window grills, cabinet door mullions, etc. The cast-iron
head actually costs less than a second pair of side
knives!

Factory-fitted smaller cutting head for 1/4" , 5/16",
3/8" nose knives, used for half-lap and cope joints
on window grills and muntin bar. Made
for easy interchange with the standard cutting head, these
“smaller” heads differ from the standard heads
only in the fact that the two sides actually come to a point
at the tip, while the larger heads have an approx. 1/4”
flat area at the tip.
