Mitre Guillotines

Choose between the Morso F and Morso EH mire guillotine. A key difference between the two is that the Morso F is foot operated whereas the Morso EH is electrically powered.

Morso F Mitre Guillotine

Achieve flawlessly smooth and precise mitre cuts on door frames, architraves, skirting boards or window frames — with no sanding or further preparation. The Morso F foot-operated mitre guillotine uses two ultra-sharp fixed blades that deliver perfect 45° mitred joints, making it ideal for high-quality carpentry and joinery work.

  • Noise- and dust-free operation: Shearing blades produce no sawdust and very little noise.

  • Foot pedal power: Twin return springs drive the blades back to the starting position after each cut.

  • Micro-adjustment via ratchet: The hand-operated ratchet mechanism advances the blades in small, controlled steps, allowing a final ultra-fine shaving cut for perfect joints.

  • Rebate support system: Adjustable supports protect delicate rebates on skirting, architraves or window-frame profiles as they are cut.

  • Clean waste handling: Offcuts drop into a rear chute for easy, tidy disposal.

  • Integrated measuring & stop: A 1,500 mm measuring scale and cutting stop ensure precise, repeatable lengths — ideal for batch-cutting timber mouldings.

  • No power supply needed: Fully manual operation — requires no electricity or compressed air.

  • Low material waste: Centre-cut waste is minimal (around 1 mm), helping to conserve timber.

  • Safety features: Includes acrylic finger guards and a box guard for safe operation.

  • Built to last: Robust, proven design refined over decades.

Morso F Mitre Guillotine


Morso EH Mitre Guillotine

Achieve smooth, precise mitre cuts on door frames, architraves, skirting boards, and window frames with minimal effort. The Morso EH’s electro-hydraulic system powers a pair of ultra-sharp blades, producing perfect 45° joints that require no sanding or further prep.

The machine operates quietly (around 70 dB) and creates absolutely no sawdust, making for a clean workshop environment. Hydraulic clamps and automatic rebate supports hold mouldings firmly in place during the cutting cycle, ensuring consistent, accurate cuts even on delicate or profiled timber.

With automatic head advancement, the Morso EH delivers faster and more uniform cuts than a foot-operated machine, reducing operator fatigue. After each cut, offcuts drop neatly into a rear chute for tidy waste management.

The built-in 1,500mm measuring scale and second stop help you set precise, repeatable lengths — ideal for high-volume runs of architraves or skirting. The machine is self-contained, running on a standard 230 V supply with no need for compressed air.

Clever safety mechanisms like interlocked switches and dual-hand operation protect the user during use. Plus, with minimal centre-cut waste (~1 mm) and robust build quality refined over decades, the Morso EH is a reliable long-term investment.

Features & Benefits
