I have just received all my items to start sublimation today and got the DK20S press which is 40cm x 50cm. I bit the bullet and bought the same Geo Knight stand. Was expensive $540AU but I figured that I needed a reliable stand and the convince of being able to move easily I'm sure will pay off. I will be putting it together tomorrow. Weighs 40kg and looks very stable

Trouble is these stands only fit the machine you buy. I have the smaller Geo which I will be selling, they are good machines and will hold you in good steed. Best of luck in your new venture, if you happen to come across a trolley that will hold up a heat press, just let me know.

My Pressmech sits on a stand which is square metal tubing, quite a straight forward design and not too difficult to copy with 2" wood I'd guess. I really need one for my Adkins so will watch with interest!

I did wonder about a cheap workmate or a couple of trestles?

Wonder if they make to measure? We have a local company, I might draft something out and price it up....or speak to a joiner friend!

This is the stand Pressmech supply for there presses and not sure if this is the one Justin is talking about but I had phoned them recently regarding this. Cannot remember the actual price but don't think it was to dear in the email Dick says this one is shown with a wooden top but the ones they supply are with Formica not sure if the top is big enough but it looks solid that being the case could you not just replace the top or extend it to fit your press.

Should there be a pic with that? Mine doesn't have a top as it bolts onto the frame but I think they have updated it. Not cheap though.
