MASTERS™ WEDGES
«AL» FOR ALFAMACCHINE & «UNI» FOR OTHER BRANDS
A few years after the invention of the cartridge wedges (patented), glued
wedges appeared on the market. Cassese decided then to make silicone
coated wedges, in order to make all customers benefit from the Cassese
quality, even if they have an underpinner from another brand.

FEATURES OF MASTERS™ WEDGES
• 2 types
«AL» for Alfamacchine/Minigraf under plnners (11mm wide)
«UNI» for almost all other brands of underpinners (10.5 mm wide)

• 7 sizes
Available in 5, 7, 10, 12 & 15mm for Softwood or Hardwood.
3mm (ideal for fillets and slips) is also available on request.

• Shape Memory
Masters™ wedges are made from a special steel alloy which
gives shape memory properties to the wedge. This way, when it
penetrates into the moulding, it spreads its wings which -because
of shape memory- try then to come back to their initial position.
This results in pulling very strongly the 2 pieces of mouldings
towards each other, so as to give a perfectly closed corner. This
is one of the reasons of Cassese worldwide-known excellent
joining!

• Silicon coated
Wedges are not stuck together with glue or adhesive, since the
accumulation of their residue can create jamming in the firing
mechanism.
Cassese uses an exclusive silicone-based mixing which doesn't
leave residue and consequently avoids jamming. In addition it
allows a much better penetration of the wedge into the wood.
Indeed, the silicone spreads along the wedge, and thus helps it slide
and insert much better into the moulding.

• Colour coded
In order to identify quickly the wedges inside or outside the
underpinners, silicone is coloured depending on the type and
hardness of wedges:
Grey silicone forAL Softwood
Black Silicone forAL Hardwood
White Silicone for UNI Softwood
Red Silicone for UNI Hardwood
(To be loaded with silicone strip on top)
