Yup harbor has a one ton press for $49.99 and a half to press for $39.99 so deff a good deal from there.
@Twitch what size plates should i use for my dewalt clamp? Posted a link with the specs on the prior page.
that is high, my dake hydraulic was only $450, then I added a N to the name,lol Dankeanyways moving on to talk about pressing and not a shit show....
Hyroot 400 for an arbor press damn, try HF that have them for 50 bucks. the dake one is just name brand

I understand, on the HF site the 1/2 ton press does get a pretty good rating of 5 out of 5 but not too many reviews on it.I just wonder the quality of those presses. Great deal yes. Will they break. The reviews on them are mixed.
On machinist forums they all recommend famco or dake.
Most of the reviews on the 1 ton arbor press from HF, seem to be about bad shipping experiences with missing parts and such. But there are a few mentioning the lack of power. Hard to say really, they do have a good warranty too lol.
what flat iron do you have? I can try to find the video of a guy pressing 4 grams of keif with that clamp got a 70% return and what is funny you see the rosin technologies press in the back ground.http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-12-in-X-Large-Trigger-Clamp-DWHT83185/204988146
That be the clamp of truth
the other name brand ones are made a little better like the handle on the hf is a little weak, but that can easily be replaced, and i would recommend a longer rod/handle or cheater bar to help get the force with less force on your endThere's a harbour freight like 5 min from me. With that 1 ton and the 2.5x2.5 around $350 to build then. Not bad.
pid and coils, milling all that out seemed like a lot of work. By attaching the heat to the sides,my plates heat from the outside to the inside with heat coming from both sides, once they heat up, they stay perfect all day, and they only cost $150 total, just sayin.@Twitch I was think rosin works combo. Rufio said they work with arbor presses. The cylindrical plates alone are $300 not including pid and coils.
I got the same flat iron as you. He must be using fire keif! I've never seen that video before, recall who uploaded it?what flat iron do you have?

it is on the book of facesI got the same flat iron as you. He must be using fire keif! I've never seen that video before, recall who uploaded it?
I am here to answer questions and show people how they can make these presses for a fraction of what all these companies are charging. Anyone looking into having plates made, call your local machine shop and talk to them they can make plates dirt cheap with a fast turn around.
