Question 1

Does the bottom knives require sharpening?

Accepted Answer

No. The bottom knives are not designed to be sharpened, as sharpening would alter the precise cutting measurement and affect accuracy. Each pair of bottom knives is individually adjusted and calibrated to fit the specific mitring machine. If the bottom knives become worn or cause cutting issues, they must be replaced with a new set to ensure continued precision and performance.

Question 2

My Morsø EH single phase cuts out occasionally. What should I check?

Accepted Answer

First, ensure that the correct amperage is used. The small black switch located in the lower right-hand corner of the guide must be set to 10 amps. Also, avoid using an extension cord between the Morsø EH machine and the power outlet, as this can cause power instability and unexpected shutdowns.

Question 3

My Morsø EH occasionally refuses to advance. What could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Check for a loose connection in the right-hand side push-button. The button should give a clear “click” when it is activated. If the connection is secure and the issue persists, it may indicate a faulty relay that needs to be inspected or replaced to ensure proper machine operation.

Question 4

How to cut a moulding?

Accepted Answer

Place the moulding in the machine and adjust the rebate supports according to the size and shape of the moulding. The moulding can be cut either in two cuts or in multiple “bite-by-bite” cuts, depending on its width. Wider mouldings require more incremental cuts to ensure precision and control.
The knife adjustment is made using the handle. Regardless of moulding size, the final cut should always be a two-step process, with the last cut being the so-called “trim-cut”. This final cut ensures a completely smooth and precise surface finish.

Question 5

How do I achieve the best cutting precision?

Accepted Answer

High cutting precision is achieved through correct adjustment of the machine, proper positioning of the moulding, and sharp, correctly aligned knives. It is important that there is no gap between the knives, as this will affect the accuracy of the cut. The final “trim-cut” ensures a smooth and precise surface finish.

Question 6

How do I keep a mitring machine clean?

Accepted Answer

Our mitring machines are designed to operate in a dust-free way. However, wood residues and small offcuts may still accumulate during use. To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to regularly remove these residues from the cutting area and surrounding parts of the machine.
