The CS 88 Foot Operated Underpinner has been specially designed for joining wood frames.

It uses special patented steel wedges from Cassese that allow high quality and invisible joinings. Frames can be handled immediately after joining, due to the mechanical strength of the joint that generally avoids the use of glue. Pedal position can be changed for working from back or front of the machine. Changing from one profile to another is quick and simple, making it especially suitable for custom framing. Foot-operated, the CS 88 requires neither electricity nor compressed air.
