Diy rosin press

a 10t press will be a little under powered to take full advantage of a 4x7 plate. You would nearly double your maximum psi with a 3x5 plate. Also, keep in mind that it is not good to use your press at full capacity, so you will actually be using about 8tons max pressure.
Determine pressure by the size of the bag not the size of the plate.

This was my concern.... 4x7 plate with 10t underpowered? Also can anyone speak to the wattage for the plates. Seems like.i can get 4x7 600w or 1200w. Either 150w/rod or 300w/rod 2 rods in each plate. Or the 3x5 plates which I believe are split 500w

I mean I can't see me NEEDING to squish more than an oz of bubble. I mean even that's a fair amount. I have alot of 2x4 bags left over from a old press I broke.

Pressing hash doesnt require as much heat or pressure as flower, so a 10t should work fine for hash.

No matter what size the plate. A 4x7 or a 3x5 with a 10 ton cylinder a 2x2 square of material will be the same.

Lovely
Flower or bubble?
I just find some strains just taste bad in general. I duno if it was because I was using a subpar press before or what. But some stuff was stellar and most other was kinda yucky even if it looked/smelled nice. Just had a plant taste to it
Bubble.

Bubble.
Yummy
So in your opinion the 4x7s would be fine then
So the only thing I read about is bag size matching plates etc so the material doesn't spend extra time running over the heated plate. I'm just trying to make the right call on the plates because I don't want to buy them twice

Do you really think you'll be pressing a oz of bubble at a time? That could get messy. That came out to 4g after pressing.
