I am looking for a press that will work well on iron-on Girl Scout badges. Can anyone tell me about the pressure feature?

I think it would work great. I would suggest using a pressing cloth on top of the badge.

My recent purchase (8/5/13) works great. The pressure is applied when the top portion of the unit is brought into contact with the garment. My only concern with GS badges is if they're color fast and stitched and not dyed. If dyed, they might leak onto the iron and ruin the badge itself. I hope this helps.

Should work well as you will need a fairly high heat and the press has a setting for linen which should do the trick. You might try the cotton setting first, then go to linen if cotton is not hot enough.

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

I have a Classic Turret press. I am not sure if the device will work on your press. The mount for the Classic Turret press bolts on to the top of the turret frame. The angle that you position the primer feed to line up with the primer cup is extremely important for reliable feeding of primers into the primer cup. With the Classic turret cup the adjustment of the primer feed mount is completed by loosing the bolt and moving the mount back and forth until it is lined up. The design is simple but frustrating at first. Once the press is set up it functions very well. I have loaded 4000 rounds of 9mm this year with very little problems. I have a Classic Turret press.

I have not used the bulge buster kit. I would give it a try. I hand load .480 Ruger, .44 Rem mag and .357 mag with great success using this press. I also use the ram-prime chucked in this press. **use case lube** **when using the "ram-prime" kit, I have to pull the handle down as though I'm priming to insert a primer and barely make room for the cartridge case to fit in the holder to prevent from flipping the primer when using. Otherwise, I'd say go for it

I've found two that work. I'm pretty stoked! I'm getting out a Sharpie to mark those bad boys! You have to either remove the plastic thingie on the plunge base or get one longer screw to make it work. I haven't broken anything, but one of the holes is not backed by metal - be careful not to over tighten it because you will break the jig. The other hole is backed by a metal shelf - you can be a bit more aggressive with it. It also seems to work with the smaller Jasper 400 jig.

we press lemons for fresh squeezed lemonade- we have done about 3000 lemon half's last summer- It is Girl Scouts doing it, so it doesn't take alot of strength to get it to press. It has worked wonderfully and I would recommend it!

The press to me is useless; (read my review). However, currents are somewhat easy to juice, so this may work for you; I would rather find some other method.

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.

Yes, these are very helpful for heat protection. Also you don't have to use steam to get a good press, try it dry. Other option is a dry iron and a wet press cloth.

http://www.ehow.com/facts_6153221_low-high-shank-sewing-machines.html This is how I decided. However, although I have a low shank machine the screw provided with my original presser foot was not long enough for this presser foot. I had been using the zipper foot on my Singer machine and it works OK, but I purchased the Distinctive presser feet for welting and I am determined to figure it out.

There is a great advantage using this DW9280 model. The weight of the iron gives extra support with removing the wrinkles and the extra steam wholes are awesome. These are what you need when you are trying to press your garments correctly. Enjoy

The Propresser Garlic Press works on ginger beautifully peeled OR with the skin on especially on those "little fingers" that can seem too much trouble to peel the skin off first. Simply cut in quarter to half inch slices that fit the basket and press. One recommendation, however, if you need more than one or two tablespoons of pressed ginger, peel the large pieces of ginger before pressing to speed up the process. Saves on cleaning out the ginger skins. For most work, however, you won't need to peel at all. Terrific tool!!!

Not with this one. I have these on my Dillon 550 press, it has a priming/de-capping station. Sorry about that.

I would press shirts only. It is very sturdy so it might work because you can adjust the pressure.

I get best results at 45 to 50 psi as for max air presser any thing over 100 psi my cutter will stop working , built in safety I guess.

No reloading steel case is a bad idea. The steel tends to rust and is very brittle compared to brass. I prefer to use this press for pistol brass. I have used it on rifle brass, however a lot if effort is required

You can use a 3/4 in CSST fitting to convert the 3/4 corrugated steel pipe to a standard 3/4 in threaded tip either male or female than it becomes compatible with black iron 3/4 threaded fittings. I recommend using the nylon tape for gas (it's yellow) around your threads (At least three turns of tape) prior to making the connection. I did this and my system works perfect. It passed a pressure test of 15 lbs with no loss of pressure after 3 hours. The pipe has a working pressure of 5 lbs, but the manufacture said static pressure test can go up to 40 psi although I wouldn't do that. Most states only go up to 25 psi anyway, and LP natural gas is only around 1/2 a lb anyway.
