Hoffmann Frame Joiner Heavy Duty

For joining hard wood picture frame profiles by routing a slot for a dovetail key

Getting a tight join on dense hard woods such as oak and walnut can be a struggle because underpinners need to displace timber fibres as the v-nail is inserted. If you make a lot of frames with these timbers, the Hoffmann Frame Joiner Heavy Duty is a great alternative because it works completely differently - by routing a slot for a dovetail joining key.

Once tapped into place, the key pulls the corner tightly together. The Hoffmann Frame Joiner Heavy Duty is especially useful for getting a great join on tall, narrow moulding profiles and the robust construction means it’s perfect for higher volume work. 

Features

- Powerful 1000 watt milling unit routs any hard wood with ease.

- Heavy duty build for higher volume work. Cast aluminium base with large, ergonomically shaped table surface, precision linear bearings, galvanized steel motor carriage and an integrated motor fine with adjustment.

- Higher back fence and larger hold down plate compared with Hoffmann Frame Joiner to support taller mouldings. Longer, more robust lever to apply more pressure. 

- Height extensions and support wings available for taller, larger frames.

- Fully adjustable base plate for the thinnest of frames.

- Supplied with W1 router bit. Size W0 & W2 bits and keys also available. Tungsten Carbide router bits have an approximate life of around 10,000 strokes.

- Max routing depth 85mm, max moulding height 130mm.

- 37mm dust extraction port fits most commercial vacuum cleaners with no adaptor.

- Does not require a compressed air supply.

- Operates on a standard 13a power supply.

- Made in Germany.

How does the Hoffmann Frame Joiner work?

- Set the router depth according to the size of key.

- Position the slot - lay a piece of mitred moulding on the bed and line up the slot location with the indicator on the machine. Slide up and lock the centre fence plate.

- Place the mitred piece to be routed on the left side of the bed with the rebate facing away.

- To start the machining cycle, pull the lever.

- Padded hold-down plate clamp secures moulding and motor is switched on. Continue pulling the lever to advance the router head until pre-set height is reached.

- Release the lever to return the router to its home position, shut off the motor and release the moulding.

- Move the mitred piece to the right side of the bed to rout the other end. Repeat for all four mitred pieces.

- When all four mitred pieces are routed at both ends, taps the keys into place with a soft hammer.
