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.

The main difference between the NFXL and the NFL model is the moveable center fence assembly on the NFXL.

Two 5-foot long fence rails are mounted along the back edge of the table extensions (along the front edge on the NFL). The center fence assembly can be moved in and out, allowing moulding up to 8” in width to be placed between the center fence and the nose knife.

The center stop, which is fastened to the machine table on the NFL models, is also part of the moveable center fence assembly on the NFXL.

Four additional grooves are machined into the cast iron table, the angled outer grooves holding locking fittings to lock the fence assembly into place. The straight grooves in the center contain moving steel channels, which guide the center assembly to assure parallel alignment to the nose knife and extension fences.

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 NF and NEH 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.

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.

24”

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.
