I thought you all might like to know how Steven and Jane are totally ignoring emails about this. Nothing new though, in past months almost every message reply from them contained some kind of lie. I'm surprised anyone does repeat business with these shysters. They are very unethical and a...
The prototype of this I posted a few pages back is from Hfy. Pretty sure from our messages they were working on it first. I could be wrong, but they seem more like a real factory than Stevenmlz. Is he buying his seconds from them? I've been bugging Hfy for some smaller 50-55mm stereo matrix...
Where are the pictures?!!! :rant::myday::hmm::wave:
It sounds like you're dripping goo between the insert and the ti part, and that hard carbon is what's so easy to clean off the SiC vs quartz. It's funny I said before I rarely use the shallow side, but lately it's been my favorite way...
Very hit or miss on quality. Seems like he started off good but ships a lot of blems now. The percs are always a little crooked, some much worse than others. Also he uses non-boro glass for some perc designs and they are rough cut not even flame polished. Most of all, the customer service...
The Dake is a good deal but takes up too much space for what I want. I'll be investing in larger equipment later, so will wait for new products to be released or DIY myself. An arbor press is the most ergonomic small-footprint device I've found for the pressure I want, although I decided the 2...
Thanks, the pointy one looks fun. Do you like the first one with the hole best? I talked to Josh about using SiC for those tips or a whole dabber and he was already on it.
I guess I'll be reprimanded again for posting back to back, but again it's too late to edit and I'm not sure how else to make this correction.
I confused this with the main rosin thread in my last post. @jg34 the pics I meant are here...
You guys make me jealous with your storm cell caps, I should have ordered one from the start. How many tips are there and what parts come with the new design? Anyone care to show more pics?
Scroll back just a few pages and you'll see a nice custom arbor unit. I'll probably order from Joel, but I'm too busy to use one myself right now, so I've been hovering on a 3 ton and watching for new options. The cost ends up being similar to getting a Dake 10 ton though, which is much more...
How much relative force do you have to put into the handle? Body weight, or less? Yours is a 1 ton right? I think the ratio on the gear/pinion is around 20:1 on most of these. I really like the arbor press form factor for the small size and ergonomics, and your mods are pretty sweet.
Your last sentence may apply for Quartz if you like using it that way, but SiC is so hard there 's not much sense in trying to season it. Carbon buildup is minimal and only the result of extract impurities (which scrape right off easily, unlike my experience with quartz). I suppose you could...
Nice press, what capacity is the jack? And do the plates deform any under full load?
For the ISO you can use vacuum filtration (like I'm doing right this moment) or even get trickier with a separatory funnel. This is one of my favorite links to share...
Has anyone found any smaller, say 50-55ish stereo matrix copies? If not, who would be the best vendor to approach? Maybe one who makes other good pieces with smaller diameter matrix percs?
The mouthpiece on the GB-187 is a deal breaker for me, and I haven't seen anything else but the FC-186...
