Merry Festivus to the World. I hope this method helps all in need. For everyone else I hope you get screaming high.

I was looking at this press, but wanted to know if I wanted the a-frame size but change jack to a 12 ton would it work? Want the smaller size frame but the 12 ton jack make sense? Ready to buy just trying to get right press. Need to move so like the smaller a-frame lol.I Tried screwing around with a curling iron but I am not happy with the lack of control or the results. So I have decided to build a 6 ton rosin press for personal use. I am waiting the arrival of the heating elements to complete the project. I am also waiting until the last minute to buy the 6 ton press since stuff is always going on sale at Harbor Freight. I might get a better price than the 20% off coupon? I have done all of the machining on the plates accept the holes for the heating elements. I want to wait until I have them in hand and can measure them for a good fit. Here is the parts list:

I will post some pictures when I start to assemble this.
I think you could bend the frame with 12 tons of pressure; you could probably get away with 8 ton. I get more than enough squeeze on my 3x5 plates. Might be able to go up to 4x6 plates but I just don't need the volume.I was looking at this press, but wanted to know if I wanted the a-frame size but change jack to a 12 ton would it work?
