sheeeeit 72g of kief I'd be blowing fat joints of straight kief, try it if you haven't, terp city hash clouds
I use a 1.5ton mead pneumatic for some production work that I hope will double as a rosin press, hopefully I have some info to add on how well that size of a press is working for rosin and the capabilities of puck size it can handle.
For now I use a table top 3" vice and it is functional but a bit primitive

i had three pounds of trim to tumble lol. theres still a lot of thc left in there so it will get blasted after its tumbled for oil no man left behind. if you havent already, look up when they press kief into rosin on youtube. fat yields. no one seems to want kief. only wax or rosin

make sure you put that in a bag when you press it or it will get all in your extraction, good luck and happy pressing.i had three pounds of trim to tumble lol. theres still a lot of thc left in there so it will get blasted after its tumbled for oil

Who the F doesn't want kief? People are weird. When I was a stoner (in my 20s when I was blasted 24/7) we used to keep all our Kief to either sprinkle on joints, or food, or add to baked goods. So yummy.

Most what I do is in this one...
There are more links to everything on the youtube page of the video in the description. Pre press is handmade with wood for me...but some companies do make them, but are $$$.

anyone know if the tabletop 6 ton press will work or do i have to get the giant one that my wife will most definitely bitch at me for because its so fucking big?

6 tons is 12,000 psi. Depends on the size of your plates (bags really, but we'll go with plates). So it depends on the size or your plates. If you use 5x5 you'll get 480 psi at 3x3 you'll get 1,333.333 psi. Gene said, I think, that 400 psi is plenty

progress of the night. our holes didnt line up for shit on the flange lol. its all good though. i can either ream out the flange holes or just say fuck it since it only has to hold the flange to the press. gonna fiddle with the wiring tonight a little bit since i dont have to work early tomorrow. should be smashing kief and buds soon
btw i hope that its cool that i'm posting my stuff in here. just figured it was pertinent since it was this thread that made me take the plunge to build

Nothing sure how you did it, but in the future, clamping the flange when marking will help alignment, as will Center punching your holes.progress of the night. our holes didnt line up for shit on the flange lol. its all good though. i can either ream out the flange holes or just say fuck it since it only has to hold the flange to the press. gonna fiddle with the wiring tonight a little bit since i dont have to work early tomorrow. should be smashing kief and buds soon

got it all wired up and its functioning except i have one faulty heater element. gonna order another pair so i have a backup in case of future failures. for now i will just have to preheat longer with the plates pressed together to get a good transfer of heat to the non heated plate. looks like i'll be pressing by tomorrow morning

It was all super easy except I had a little trouble with the wiring since it didn't show where the plug came from in the diagram so it was throwing me off. I was trying to trace your wires in the video and kept going back and forth till I finally got it figured out. Other than that it was easy. First time tapping holes and it was fine. Just go slow and take your time. Thanks again for the great diy videos. I wouldn't have attempted it and saved all that money without you. As soon as I locate some bags or next day amazon them I will get squishing. Gonna build a mold tomorrow and get some patties pressed and ready
