jdmarti1 20 Posted May 19, 2016 Picked it up used today - I love my Stahls auto open clam, but I want the flexibility of the fusion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 19, 2016 I bought one new last year even at the full price I never looked back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 19, 2016 love it - I keep watching for one to come up around here for the right price - when some gung ho person buys one with their tax refund and then finds out it is work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmarti1 20 Posted May 19, 2016 This was a sign shop, that bought it 2 years ago. Just didn't get into the thing they were doing, and needed space. I paid 1350 with a 6x8 secondary platen. Cool thing is that will fit my STX 20 too. LOL. He said if it had pressed 200 shirts he would be surprised. Looking at it I believe him. Really happy with my find. I scour CL every day for things to take a look at. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 19, 2016 Great buy. Love mine. They are true beasts to move. I swear I got a hernia from mine. However this coming week I will be buying a utility cart to move it around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdmarti1 20 Posted May 19, 2016 I honestly thought the STX20 was heavier, and the 14x16 DKnight was definitely heaver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 19, 2016 I honestly thought the STX20 was heavier, and the 14x16 DKnight was definitely heaver. I have heard the knights are heavier. I almost bought the 16x20 knight swinger. After having the fusion with the totally threadable platen I wouldn't want anything else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted May 19, 2016 when you can get the hotronix they are great - nothing wrong with a knight either but probably the best deals for used presses that are rock solid are the old mighty and hix for the newbies. Kinda like I told stacey the last 15 years that the old disco iroc z-28 would be collectible soon - I see they are taking off now. I'm a mustang guy but should have bought a couple when they was giving them away 5 years ago. There are bargains to be found in any market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted May 19, 2016 I have heard the knights are heavier. I almost bought the 16x20 knight swinger. After having the fusion with the totally threadable platen I wouldn't want anything else. The 16x20 air operated GeoKnight is threadable. I'm not sure about the manual 16x20.

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 19, 2016 The 16x20 air operated GeoKnight is threadable. I'm not sure about the manual 16x20. They are but still have a sizable center support so I was comparing the almost complete open space under the Fusion. Makes a difference when squeezing a small shirt on without having to drop the other platen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
