Low Temp Plates no good? (The company)I recently bought a 6 ton bench top press for a great deal at my local harbor freight. The press plates it came with are a bit rough for pressing rosin (minor parchment paper tears) and I believe they are painted cast iron.
So I'm in need of some smoother plates that I can heat up and use with my 6 ton press for rosin. If anyone knows where I can get them please tell me. I already tried 1/8" thick 2x5" stainless steel rectangles and I can't get them hot enough with my oven. For the cast iron it takes about 20 minutes in the oven to reach 255° F when I take them out for a press. Im thinking about going to a local metal shop to ask if they have anything that fits the bill.
the plates are still rough@DonTesla those are just very expensive which is the only reason I haven't gotten them yet. I think I'm going to exchange the 6 ton for a 20 ton, and i could be wrong but I think the 20 ton comes with smooth arbor plates that I can use. It's a pain to use the oven every press, but it works and this way I don't have to mess with the electric plate heaters which look like a nightmare to me since I dont know how those things work.
Like the 'nugrunner"?I'd like to try a plate shaped like a hemisphere with a perfect mating partner plate. Nev r seen these so probably expensive to have made. Perhaps no additional yield but would be fun to try.
Results? You like?Like the 'nugrunner"?
Uh, I wouldnt buy it! haha. Thats just what comes to mind when I hear talk of hemispherical plates...Results? You like?
