Best Rosin Press with a budget

[chooselove]

Looking for the most recommended rosin presses on the market right now that has a balance between good quality and budget friendly.

I have tools and diy capability and i realize i can save much more going that route. Are there any particular tutorials that you recommend? Feel free to assist. Thanks in advance .

I'd check an industrial tool supply for the press, maybe harbour freight, and get the hotplates and temp controllers elsewhere.

I got a nugsmasher, the 12 ton unit. I did a lot of shopping around before I bought it, I recommend it. I'm getting great results pressing 7g at a time at 200F.

DHGate plates seem to be what many people are ordering now. Combine them with a decent press like a Dake B10. They have great reviews and are much less expensive than most of the all-in-one presses. I am considering them, myself. I just need to find the best price and deal on the best press now....researching them now.

Timefoxwizard on ig makes kick ass plate setups complete with heat controls, elements and pre press mold. Excellent value. You will need a press though. Catch harbor freight with a 25% off coupon and get the 12 or 20 ton. It will need some mods though. Upgrade the bolts to grade 8 and replace the deck pins with hardened steel. Unless you like shitting your britches then having to buy a new press or just doing that anyway.

Dakes are beautiful. Built/building mine on a budget but plan on upgrading as needed. Next press will be a dake

20-tonne press is stupid, you will work more in the 3 to 5-tonne range.

Looked up the 5x5's but are actually sold out. Did you have to modify the dake 10?

nope, they fit right on. i do however, pre heat plates un attached to ram, then connect, press and disconnect. saves the oil from getting heated and leaking.

It's not a bad idea to get more tonnage from the press depending on the size of the plates. If you're using large plates, then the psi decreases dramatically. The larger the surface area of the plates, the less pressing power you will have.

These are the ones I'm thinking about...but maybe they will go on sale for Black Friday(?) Pretty good deal from the looks of it. There are a few different variations of rosin plate sets they sell. This one looked like the best one to me:

Don't have to buy a drill and tap set to DIY one...Don't have to worry about the plates being flat/polished....The heater elements are the larger one...the controller is probably not great...but who knows? I'm willing to bite at this price!
