Hey u/simmiauto I know this thread is 2 months old, but the only C words I say are "cock" and "cunt." Would you mind lending me your wisdom?
I'm tired of the yields from my girlfriend's hair straightener, and am looking to move up in the rosin world. Do you have a preferred model of frame from HFT that I should use?
If my math is correct, the final PSI would be the (Total Pressure/Surface Area) correct? So if I mounted these plates to a 10-ton frame, I'd have 20,000lbs/15in = 1,333PSI? Is there a recommended PSI for pressing flower? Additionally, I'm assuming 1g/inch is a decent packing density. I wouldn't anticipate pressing more than 7-14g of flower/kief at a time. Would a 10-ton frame be overkill, or do I need exceptionally high pressure in addition to heat?

This is from roughly trimmed flower. All is from fist press. I packed about 20 to 23 grams per bag. Had 16 bags. I also did second press on them and got around 10g of more sappy rosin.
My setup is 10 Ton Hydraulic Press with 3 x 5in uncaged plates from Dabpress.
Also, I used 120 micron bags.

Been scouting purchasing a dab press for over a year now. Had to make a post and share some recent price drops in hopes it will persuade and help other users.
Have seen really good reviews and builds with this combo, using the 3x5" DIY Dabpress plates paired with the Canadian tire 10ton Mastercraft shop press ( comes w/ hand pump and pressure gauge ).
Currently the NEW 3x5" DIY Dabpress plate kit is sitting at an all time low, selling for $269.00 on Amazon (6 left in stock).
The 10 ton Mastercraft shop press from Canadian tire JUST went on sale today, for $229.99 from $349.99.
If I hadn't known and seen this post I know I'd be allll over it. Hoping this will help other users, and everyone has a good weekend ✌
DabPress plates and heating element: (has instructions for installation on Amazon page)
12 Ton press(this one is only in-store but it at least gives you an idea)

•You can find articles explaining how to put a press like this together as well as images on Google showing them completed. But the Amazon page for the plates should pretty much cover it.
