Anyways when I called out there and talked with some guy by the name of frank. Incidentaly, I could hardley understand him, (I think he was chewing on some slimp flied lice).  B)  I was able to understand enough of it that I guess it is on its way.  Yippee

If all else fails I've got 1 left in the corner that I need to service first.

Shipping is the killer. I'd rather let it go local just because the last time I price one to CA it was like $130 shipping

That and this one only has a 15x15 lower platen. It's a 16x20 but it didn't come with the big platen when I bought it.

Well I went back to their sight and found this Swing Away which is 15X12 (is that big enough) but they also have a 15X18 Swing Away Listed but when I click the link it doesn't open up.  :angry:   I can see where a Swing Away would be nice to get a birds eye view and line things up better. The Swing Away is Still gives good center pressure w adjustment correct?  Thanks

This is the press I bought and have been very happy with it so far.  I'm still new to this and I've never used a different brand but I was able to adjust this so that I am getting equal pressure on all four corners and based on my IR thermometer the build in temperature gauge is accurate.  Seems to be a great price / quality point for someone new to the process.  I definitely would go with swing away over clamshell, both for the working room as well as a more consistent pressure.  From what I have read clamshell tend to have different pressure on the front vs. back due to the hinge.
