The Jyden frame chopper is a RED tool requiring training and authorization before use (Frame Shop Red Tool class).
The Jyden frame chopper is a classic, foot-operated miter trimmer manufactured in Denmark by Rammefabriken Jyden. It is heavily used in the custom picture framing and woodworking industries to slice clean, glass-smooth 45-degree mitered corners into wood moulding.
Key Features
- Foot Pedal Operation: Completely mechanical design driven by a heavy foot pedal.
- Dual Razor-Sharp Blades: Slices down diagonally from both sides to cleanly shear wood fibers rather than sawing them, which prevents tear-out.
- Cast Iron Construction: Extremely heavy, durable build that absorbs vibration and lasts for generations.
- Extension Fence: Includes a long measuring rail with a flip-stop to ensure perfectly identical, repeatable lengths for matching frame sides.
