Charnwood Framing Kit

Ideal for beginners, this kit makes frames the professional way using metal 'V' shaped fasteners to hold the corners together. The frame clamp has a quick action mechanism to quickly and securely hold the two mitred pieces of moulding. Once clamped, the corner is turned upside down and positioned on the non-slip base and up against the fence for accurate location of the wedge. The fence itself can be positioned to allow for any sized picture frame moulding, up to 75mm wide, with a front and back locating stop which can be set when using wider mouldings which require two wedges in each corner.When working with taller mouldings, up to 100mm, it is possible to perform an operation known as stacking, where two wedges are inserted on top of each other. The second wedge pushes the first one in deeper so that inserting 2 x 10mm height wedges is the equivalent of a 20mm wedge.The driver for inserting the wedges has a square shaped magnetic tip which securely holds the next wedge in place until the wedge is fully inserted and flush with the back of the frame. The hand lever does not require much force and can be operated by anybody. Once all 4 corners have been joined the frame is ready for the artwork to be put in, the backing board secured in place, using our T225 Tab Driver (stock code PFATG), and then hung on the wall. We include a FREE 266 Piece Hardware Kit to provide the finishing touch: 100 x 7mm Wedges 100 x 10mm Wedges 5m Picture Hanging Wire 8 x Screw Eyes 8 x D Rings 8 x Screw Rings 6 x Large Wall Hook 4 x Small wall hook 10 x Wood screw 20 x Masonry Nail 1 x Frame leveler (Spirit Level)
