PushMaster

 

The ideal V-Nailing tool for everyone

 

PushMaster will insert all sizes of V-Nails into most types of timber mouldings. Used in combination with a clamp to hold the joint firmly whilst nailing, any angle can be joined. These simple and inexpensive tools are suitable for high quality, low volume picture framing and joinery. There is no limit to the width of the moulding or the size of the frame, and the PushMaster can be used in hard timbers by tapping the end of the tool with a small hammer or mallet. The unique head design of the PushMaster allows backing nails and flexipoints, used to secure pictures into the frame, to also be fitted. Screw eyes can be inserted into the PushMaster for easy installation ready for the wire or cord to be attached.

Steel Strap Clamp

 

Franco strap clamp holds frames up to 1,25 x 1,25 metre square. The precision engineering mechanism makes the clamp quick and easy to use. A unique feature of the Strap Clamp is that each corner has detachable Corner Wings which prevent the corner piece from slipping off the frame corner whilst clamping. It is important that the corners of the frame you intend to join be held firmly together before V-Nailing. The pressure of the V-Nail entering the base of the moulding can force the joint to open if the frame is not held securely. Glue on all the joints is also recommended for large frames. The band is spring steel with flexible plastic corners so that the outside edge of the frame will not be damaged. The Strap Clamp also has the advantage that you can see the corners all together before V-Nailing and that there is no limit to the width of the molding which can be joined. Suitable for joining 4,6,8 and 10 sided picture frames.

                                      Mitre Cutting Guillotines

               

 

     

Hansen Mitre Guillotine

 

Made in Denmark to high technical standards, these machines are very reliable and long lasting- getting even better with use. The cutting head is moved in and out using a lever. This allows you to cut the moulding in steps.

As the blades cut into the wood or plastic, they crush it. When the pressure is removed the material springs back very slightly out of line. So multiple cuts help achieve perfect joins. The last cut should be water thin.

1000 FRAMERS CANNOT BE 

 WRONG.

 

The Minigraf M3 is a bench top frame assembly machine and our most popular model with the Custom Framer. It is compact and well constructed, build for many years of trouble free operation. With this machine, the framer sets the front and back stops for V-nail insertion. The frame is then moved across the nail head and V-nails can be driven or stacked anywhere along the frame join. The V-nail insertion is made through the use of a pneumatic pedal

                                                                                       T102F

 

The Minigraf M4 is a bench top frame assembly machine designed for small production runs.This machine can precisely insert or stack v-nails into the same corner positions frame after frame! After the Framer sets the stops (up to 3 nail positions per corner), the v-nails are then automatically driven at the correct positions along the frame joint by simply touching the hand lever and stepping on the foot pedal.

Manual bench disk sander, allows to recover perfectly cutting faults setting up the angle at 45 degrees. It utilises 30 cm  abrasive disks. The Disk Sander consistence of construction and its working easiness, are the safe-life for a long term duration. Suitable in different working environments: from handcraft to mass production.

 

Our Double Mitre Saw has been designed to precisely cut mitres for picture framing and woodworking applications such as windows, doors, and furniture components. This is a heavy duty saw built to last many years in a high production environment. It has a unique pneumatic control system which totally supports the weight of the cutting assembly allowing a very smooth down-stroke, precise cuts, and a quick return.
Two saw blades are fixed at 45 degree angles and vertically move up / down. With each stroke, the two mitres are cut from the moulding with the least amount of scrap. During the cutting process, the moulding cannot move as it is held firmly to the work table by four pneumatic clamps

                                                           ALFAMACCHINE Wedges (V-Nails)

 

 

 

 


Should you use hardwood or standard wedges in your underpinner?

Standard wedges are sharpened on the inside edge of the V. Hardwood wedges are sharpened on both sides. So standard wedges have more flare & draw the mouldings tighter together. Hardwood wedges will go into harder materials more easily. Some frames have found that hardwood wedges work better with synthetics & medium density fibreboard (MDF)

 

 
       

Waisted Pulling Power Wedges                                                                

                                                                                  

These patented wedges are specially designed For Alfagraf and Minigraph machines.They are11mm wide (most other wedges are narrower).The unique barrel shape pulls the two lengths of moulding very  tightly together. The wedges  Are bonded in sticks. Available as follows:

 

F076B      5mm           F076      7mm

F076D     10mm          F076F   15mm

These new patented wedges have been designed by Alfamachine to fit most underlinners currently in use and developed over several years to demanding technical standards. They are made from high grade carbon steel and have a unique shape that draws the two bits of moulding tightly together. They are excellent quality and cheaper. The packs are conveniently small.

 

(Be careful not to try and use these wedges upside down. One face of the stick is silver- that is the blunt face. The dark bounded face is sharp. Insert the stick into the feed silver face down bonded face up.)

                                               Gallery Hanging System

 

 

 

 

 

This hanging system is suitable for use in galleries as well as offices and homes – particularly in places where it is difficult to attach anything to the wall or where pictures may have too be moved relatively frequently. 

 

The basis of the system is lengths of Perlon flexible suspenders or stainless steel cable depending on your choice.

 

The perlon is very strong translucent and inconspicuous and can take a maximum weight of 20kg and comes in 2 meter lengths ( We can supply other lengths - please enquire). At one end there is a fitted adaptor that slides into the new click gallery rail (Silver or white)

 

The system is completed by hooks which fit onto the Perlon or steel cable. There are 8 types of hooks to choose from 4kg, 7kg, 12kg and 16kg

 

 

        

 

 

   

As rails may not or cannot be used in all rooms, Bear And Bug also has hanging solutions to hang decorations in a sound and stylish way on, for example, partition walls.

Goldfinger Past Wax

 

Past wax in a choice of metallic tones. Used it to fill corners by taking a little on the end of a finger and wiping it onto the moulding. Can also be used as gilding medium in its own right, but it helps if you prepare a toning surface first, using suitable coloured paint

The Invisible answer to ugly plate wires. No clips or hooks. The Disc sticks to the back of the plate, holds it flat and secure against the wall and cannot be seen. Safety Assured - The Disc gives a permanent adhesion of great strength to a glazed or an unglazed surface. A fixing that will not "age - harden" or deteriorate with time.

It is unaffected by any normal household extremes of temperature or humidity, Suitable for all sizes of plates and plaques. Discs are available in five sizes. EASY TO USE: First clean the plate, (even if the plate is new, as surface contamination may inhibit adhesion). Wet the adhesive side of the disc and slowly agitate with your finger to activate the glue. When the glue becomes "tacky" apply the disc to the back of the plate (ensure the hook is in the correct position for plate design). Press down firmly. Leave to dry overnight before thoroughly testing strength of adhesion. Hang your plate on wall and admire! The Disc removes completely in warm water and will not remove back stamps, glazes, or any other markings.

       

The following describes some of the potential uses of the Disc that customers have developed over the last 30 years, including tips from the manufacturer of what and what not to do! All fired materials such as unglazed backs of wall tiles, terracotta, etc. Note: Plaster of Paris is not that strong in its own right and may give way under its own weight, so even though the Disc sticks well we don't recommend it be used. China and Porcelain Bowls These cannot be displayed by traditional wires but the 3D effect obtained by hanging bowls using the Disc is quite stunning.

Glass
The transparency of glass items does not generally lend itself to display by Discs but some smoky, opaque, milk glass objects look fabulous.

Copper, Brass and Silver Plates
Other metals may be OK but each needs to be checked by the customer. Weight is the important criteria as the diameter guide on the header card is for china and porcelain. The weight limits are very conservative and are based on the strength and integrity of the cloth and Dee-Rings and not the bond strength between the glue and the surface it is stuck to. Two Discs connected by strong cord or wire may be used if heavier objects are to be displayed. (This same "picture hanging" type of approach may be adopted for hanging awkward shaped items or orientation sensitive items).

In the case of metals any oxide formation should be removed first with a proprietary cleaner and then cleaned with neat detergent and rinsed in clean water.

Mirrors
Some people hang mirrors but much depends on the "silvering" materials that are used on the back of the mirror glass. We cannot guarantee success. We only suggest they try it and see if it works on the mirror at their own risk.

Unvarnished wooden articles and hardboard backed pictures


The Discs will stick to some varnishes but not to others (the same applies to paint). We recommend customers try it first and if it won't stick to the varnish then remove it locally. The water soluble glue will not stick to vegetable oils. Linseed is one, so anything that has been "oiled" will reject the glue.

Note: Some manufacturers paint the back of plates on the top of the glaze or fired surfaces. We recommend that paint be removed locally on glass or porcelain etc, as the bond between the paint and the plate is often not good enough to suspend the weight of the plate over a period of time. WHATEVER THE APPLICATION THE ARTICLE MUST BE ADEQUATELY PREPARED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Tool Balancer

As we have said many times – guns designed to fire brads, flexipoints or staples usually give good service unless they are dropped. We now have this tool balancer which is designed to take small tools. Adjustable tension allows for adjustment according to the weight of the tool on which it is being used. This allows you to arrange matters so that the tool is raised and ‘parked’ over the bench. Then it is easy to pull down when needed after which it is automatically returned to it’s ‘parked’ position.

SIMPLE Underpinning Head

 

V-NAILS or wedges cannot be hammered in-they must be inserted with suitable tools. The lowest cost way to fit a SIMPLE underpinning head into almost any standard drill stand with a 43mm opening. The four pieces of mitred moulding need to be clamped firmly together, using a band clamp or vice. A wedges (something called V-nail) of suitable length is placed vertically on the end of the magnetic tip, sharp edge down. The point of the V should be on the moulding join line. Pull the lever steadily down to insert the wedge.

Elpa Guns

 

These have been used by framers for many years all the guns now have a devise with which the pressure can be adjusted. This can be regulated to take account of the hardness of the wood. The air operated guns are very fast. Reliable – but not if dropped. There are two types of brad gun. One  is designed to take 12mm brads and the other 18mm brads. The brads are not interchangeable. The Flexipoint gun takes standard universal Flexipoints.

Daige Mounting System

 

Daige’s Rollataq adhesive system eliminates the need for spray adhesive, rubber cement, coated film, double sided tapes and dry mounting tissue. It is one of the most cost effective adhesive systems available. Glue is applied using either a hand held applicator or a desk top machine. There is no warm up time and it takes only seconds to apply a clear micro thin film of glue. The adhesive remains position able for about 10 minutes. After burnishing with a roller or using the Quick mount system the glue dries to a strong permanent bond that will not crack peel or yellow. Rollataq glue is non toxic and no fumes or odours are emitted. Use Rollataq for mounting photographs, posters, prints etc. It can be used on any type of paper – even cheap coated art paper (which is liable to cockle badly using other methods). It will not bleed through newsprint and other thin and fragile papers.

 

T015 Hand Applicator

 

The body contains a reservoir of glue. ( A convenient spout makes refilling fast 7 easy) The dimpled roller takes up a thin film of glue and lays it onto any surface that it is rolled across. Rubber wheels on each side ensure that the roller runs smoothly. There is an airtight cap which covers the roller ensuring that it is always ready for use. The roller is 65mm wide for use. The roller is 65mm wide and comes complete with a small trail bottle of glue.
