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 in two positions depending
on workpiece thickness, assuring fast and efficient operation.
When set to the lower setting, the complete cutting cycle
(trim cut and finish cut) is completed in 1.5 seconds!
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.

 |
Nose 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 series.
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. Two safety buttons, located
at the left and right hand side of the machine table, are
pressed simultaneously to start the cutting cycle:
- Hydraulic clamps secure the moulding against the fence
rails
- The cutting head advances toward the operator
- Upon touching the moulding edge, sensors trigger two
consecutive downward strokes of the cutting head (trim
cut and finish cut)
- The cutting head returns to its home position and
the clamps release the material
When set to the lower setting, the complete
cutting cycle (trim cut and finish cut) is completed in
1.5 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.

Machine Versions:
|
|
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 NFXS cutting head for nose knives
from ¼” – 13/16”, 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.
