But yea thanx guys for all the help much appreciated.
The pump does NOT come with the press. It must be ordered as a separate item.
You can order directly from dabpress.com, or through Amazon.
The six ton press should provide all the pressure you need for up to 14gm per press.
3" x 3" plates are large enough for one 7gm 30mm dia puck.
3" x 5" plates are large enough for two 7gm 30mm dia pucks.
Regardless of plate size, I highly recommend that both plates are heated.
I highly recommend Dabpress' three piece 30mm pre-press mold. Use 2" filter bags or rolls with this mold. I cut the bottom out of the four inch or four and a half inch long bags, and then cut them in half so each bag is good for two pucks.
At this time I don't recommend Dabpress' 40mm pre-press mold. The two and a half inch bags are not wide enough to insert a 40mm puck.
Use 120-160 micron bags for flower, or trim.
Use 37micron bags for hash or kief.
Use 25micron bags to separate diamonds and sauce from the rosin.
Insert the 37 or 25 micron bags into a 160micron bag to prevent blowouts.
The most cost effective source for filter tubes seems to be DulyTek in the USA.
In Canada, the lowest cost is using 2" x 4.5" rosin bags from supremerosin dot ca.
You will need parchment or teflon film sheets to press rosin. Parchment sheets should not be re-used for buddery rosin. They can be used for rosin that is closer to shatter, but a heated plate is needed to release the rosin. I will be testing the teflon film for re-use later
this weekend. Delivery has been delayed until Monday due to severe weather.
You will need a clamp that opens to about 6" or 15cm to compress the material in the pre-press mold.
Small one inch capacity clamps are useful to hold the filter tube to the pucks, should you wish to make them in advance of pressing the pucks. I bought mine at the dollar store for $1.25 CDN per six-pack.
Dental, wax or clay modeling tools are the lowest cost for gathering rosin. I use a tool with a leaf shaped tip about 10mm x 2.5mm (3/8" x 3/32") to collect the rosin from the parchment or teflon film.
