I threw away the trim. Too much trouble.

My popcorn from harvest is making a nice honey @250f for 20 sec.

With trim, I sift it and take the kief / sift and press it through a 25u or 30u screen. A lot easier then cold pressing pucks out of trim. Those pucks always fall apart when you press them.

Or make bubble then press the bubble through a screen

For a rosin press, would a 6 ton be enough or should I get the 12 ton arbor press?
I have presses, but use the straitener with clamp more often.

That being said, you'd likely have better results with your second choice; 12 ton, but I'd recommend an arbor press setup like highfivevape over both those choices.

like an A-frame harbor freight 12 ton? And just heat the clamps up with an electric george foreman?

I noticed that the 20 tons are welded together which it really nice. The 12 tons are bolted together. Would the 20 ton be too powerful for pressing rosin?

Not a George foreman. People use heated plates.

I just meant the smaller units are nice because you can sit down while you work. All that power is not necessary.

Well I purchased a 6 ton table top press from harbor freight on sale.. I got it working and did one press, my only complaint is the arbor plates are too rough and it causes slight puncture of the parchment paper during press. Other than that it works great.
So now I'm currently looking for some new flat and smooth pressing plates, 5x2 and a quarter inch thick. Probably going to use stainless steel. If anyone knows where I can order these, please let me know. Thanks

They win, this is a far superior press than anything on the market. Granted prep work plays a large roll in it, but it also plays a large roll in any process....I'll take one, where can I order.
So I got one it is pretty sick for production. Flew out to cali to pick it up, the owners are real cool guys got to sit down eat lunch talk a bit. Then we all left so they could give us a walk thru on the press and everything about it. It came with the 5x5 pre press mold 2x 12 inch rolls of ptfe 12x 120 micron steel screens and 2x boxes these special filter that are like coffee filters but better. Basically enough stuff to do at least 200 press if not more. After all said and done they rolled up a fat joint and puffed on that till we had to go to the air port. We put the press in a checked bag and carried on the pump and pid controller... tsa tested everything for bomb residue lol. We spent more time in the air than on the ground in cali.1473481300285-2038582440.jpg

Did it come with some hot chick to pleasure you while you press? Better for that price tag plus her friend.
No, I just wanted to have it first, lol. Also I believe you were the one that said you get what you pay for. I could have made one, I did that with the smaller pneumatic press. But I wanted it now and so me and my buddy jump on a plane and headed out to cali from co. It works beautifully.
