Questions & Answers

Is this appropriate for real aged oak that has become extremely hard?

In short, yes. I was able to use it

The frame can be joined to three other frames Would you mind sharing your 5" wide photos?

The frames are assembled with a framer's vise, when the glue on all four corners is dry, the "V" nails are inserted. It is guaranteed that the frame will be joined using this method. By using the "V" nails, I keep my frames from falling apart. Thus, I do not use the F300 for joining the frames together. It would not be worth my time to join a 3" group You can use the F300 with 5" moulding. A hobbyist would benefit from it. My custom picture framing business has been going for over fifty years now, and I am now retired.

When I do butt joints, what should I do?

The corner tool can be used, but sometimes it is not possible. Then either you must freehand the two pieces you are joining or use a machine. You need to practice a bit to get good at it, but once you do, you'll have it down pat. However, it does take some practice to use it properly, but I have made many frames with it and they have come out quite well.

The barnwood used for frames is often irregularly shaped, making it difficult to use them for frames. This tool would work for molding that is irregular?

It has not caused any problems for me when I have used it for various barnwood frames. There is some possibility of having to tap in the nail a bit more at times due to irregular depths, but that is a relatively

Frames can be made with this
5/5

When it came to making picture frames, this joiner made all the As you know, the V- A nail pushes perfectly into the joint and creates a solid connection. In this case, it is worth the money if the product works as it should. When I was making oak frames, I was careful not to push the nails in too deeply. If the V-shaped nails poked through the V-shaped wood, that would be a problem. I made sure the nail on the back was flush using an angle grinder, and the excess was easily ground off. The deeper the wood, the easier it is to sink the V-shaped vessel The nail should be completely cut off.

Make sure the type of molding you plan to use will work with this technique (if possible)
3/5

The correct use of this product is extremely difficult. You will not be able to insert the V-shaped die into the clamp if your molding does not line up with the clamp prongs, which indicates that the v-shaped die is not aligned correctly during the clamping process An edge. We found the instruction booklet to be sketchy and lacked any instructions on how to properly If you're not familiar with YouTube, you may want to view it before you begin.

It may be expensive, but it is worth it
5/5

Since I did not like the splines on the home made frames, I bought this product. Framer works really well and the use of mechanical clips gives me the peace of mind that the frame won't fall apart in the event of glue failure.

I really like this product
5/5

There were a couple of negative reviews in the comments section, which caused me to hesitate. I thought that I could return it if it didn't work out. If you've never used it before, it works great. Make sure you read the instructions first (which you should do with everything. ) I'd suggest going slow and practice on some moulding that's not expensive first, but you shouldn't have any trouble with even the first frame. Learn as much as you can to become.

This is a great product
4/5

I gave it a low review earlier, but have realized it was caused by an operator error. I realized I wasn't following directions correctly once I read the instructions more closely. It's a great product and one I would like to recommend.

The use of this software is very easy and accurate
5/5

A product like this is great for picture framers who operate on a small scale. I like how easy it is A Chinese pneumatic V nailer was on my list of possibilities. There are many jambs that I read about. There is no jamb on this one. I am very pleased with my.
