12-Ton 4x7 Inch Heat Press Machine - Pump Sold Seperately

Absolutely perfect. Definitely got my money’s worth. I’m a little upset I ordered this model because they released the newer model right after I ordered. Eventually I shall upgrade to it.

This press is one of the best purchases Ive made to date! I did my research before buying, making sure that I had a reliable machine to make my medicinal concentrates with. The build quality is undeniably among the best. Dont let the aluminum frame fool you, its rugged and strong. The hardware is of the more expensive variety and keeps everything together rock solid. The plates are anodized aluminum. This is probably the best material for pressing plates. Some people say aluminum is soft and will warp from heat stress. The anodization process hardens the aluminum to eliminate these concerns while also maintaining the superior thermal properties of aluminum. The controller is pretty basic, using two PID units to control two heat rods in the plates. Nothing too fancy, but it works. Why change simple if it works? The one complaint I have is that the hydraulic hand pump is not included, but its not enough to take a star off, although the pump was out of stock when I ordered. This is actually a plus, however, as you can build your own pump with gauge for likely cheaper, and it doesnt raise the cost of the press itself. However, once their branded pump was back in stock, I went with that option. It would be nice if the gauge on the pump could show you the PSI at the puck, but the design means the gauge only shows the pressure in the hydraulic line. Its not super difficult to do the math to figure out the actual PSI, but a bit of a hassle. Since I have no idea if a gauge could display PSI at the puck, and especially in this price range, then I dont consider that reason to remove a star either. It may just be the nature of the beast. Ive only pressed a few small nugs so far, but the results were better than expected. The quality obtainable with a beginners level of skill makes me very excited to see what its capable of once I improve! One of the best presses around!

Well made works exactly as advertised. The 12 ton did not have any feet about my onlycomplaint.

Easy to use, clean, maintain, and made with quality parts.

Had to pump hand pump separately but once I figured how to bleed out the air n hook it all up runs great.. lil confused on the other 2 smaller power switches on ther controller cause they work on or off??

I purchased the 10 ton press and am happy with quality and performance of press. I kind of wish I got the 12 ton press for the bigger plates. Customer service is fast to respond and answer any questions. My only gripe is that I would like the plates to open wider but not a big issue and probably helps prevent over loading. There’s definitely a learning curve with pressing. My yields are not good right now but the quality of product from the press is superb. *****Came back to mention that after some experience with the press, it works beautifully! If I was to do it over again, I would probably get the 2 ton press because you dont need anything over 1800psi anyways. Had 28% return using this press.*****

Everything came in looking very well built. Everything in working order. I gotta say my first 2 trials were kinda sad but I got something. Its gonna take some experimenting but I am definitely glad I got it.

The control box does not come on replaced fuse tried again still nothing

Works as it should

best unit for the price its every bit as good as setups twice the price. The pressure gauge pump is a must have.
