This incorporates all the experience gained by Cassese over many years of underpinner design.

The special feature is the built-in rebate clamp. This pushes the mouldings firmly together and holds them while the wedge is inserted.

The precision cast aluminium table is mounted on three tubular steel legs. The shape of the top means that you can butt it up to your work table to support larger frames.

Other features include:

• Only coarse adjustment of the top plunger required for different moulding from 7mm up to 85mm high.

• Easy to adjust for moulding widths from 5mm to 95mm.

• Easy setting for two wedge positions.

• Makes frames down to 40mm x 40mm.

• Fine adjustment of mitre angle and tilting fences.

• Joins soft a

The MINIGRAF 44 is a high quality pneumatic underpinner for bespoke framers specially designed for joining mouldings up to 120mm wide and up to 80mm tall.

Comes built onto a tilting stand. The two-stage foot switch first operates the moulding rebate clamp. Further pressure brings down the top pressure pad and locks the wedge insertion mechanism wherever it is placed by moving the handle - the overall travel range is between two adjustable stops.

With the moulding and wedge insertion mechanism locked in place, the trigger switch on the handle lets you insert one or more wedges at each position.

A unique feature of the 44 is the pneumatic balancing of the wedge insertion mechanism, to make it easy to use the machine tilted (with the optional table extensions).

Minigraf 44 comes with blocks for 7, 10 and 15mm wedges. 5mm and 12mm are available as accesso

Unique Cassese XL features include:

Ultra powerful double-action 'push and tighten' rebate clamp: Position one of the moulding pieces up to the guide, then lay the second piece roughly place. The special action of the clamp draws them accurately together, to ensure a quality join every time. This is unique to Cassese. Takes mouldings up to 150mm / 5.9" wide. No pressure adjustment between normal and harder woods: Saves time and reduces risk of damage.
Moving Pressor Head: Insertion mechanism and pressor head always move together so that there is no possibility of the moulding opening during joining.
Shape of moulding back support: This is adjustable to avoid moulding moving during joining.
Adjustable plunger, for quicker setting up and optimal top clamping.
All XL underpinners join mouldings up to 150

The 4E is an advanced underpinner from Alfamacchine, the long established Italian manufacturer of quality framing equipment.

The special programmable software allows the operator, for each moulding in your range, to record:
• Position of wedge, up to 9 positions
• Number of wedges inserted in each position
• Speed of wedge insertion
• Size of wedge required
So, when the operator starts with a fresh moulding, they just key in the number, or read a barcode, and the machine automatically makes itself ready. The operator simply has to load the size of wedge indicated (changing the wedge block if necessary) and adjust the top pressure and rebate clamp positions.

The Minigraf 4E comes complete on stand and with filter / lube / regulator unit. The optional double pressure head helps secure wider and more complex moulding profiles.&

Moulding support wings for all Alfa underpinners excluding Alfa 1M & 1M Super.
