Different flat platen frame.

[Bob Duguay]

Looking for the post or thread that shows a flat platen frame that can run different size wheels at the bottom. I believe the member was designing one up for himself and maybe to sell not sure. Sorry could not find it in the search.

Thanks that’s it. Looked on Esteems web site and did not see it.

Brock Cutlery would be the guy. Is Brett manufacturing those?

Sent Brett a email but have not heard back from him.

I haven't heard back from Brett either. I'm thinking about having someone run a batch of these off for me with a slightly different config than Brett did.
He was going to make those changes, but....

If I do, it will be bare bones, so folks would have to buy their own wheels.
They would include the frame and the platen assembly, with a few platen mounts to switch out.
I'm thinking the redesign needs to allow for Nathan's platen cooler.

I spoke with Brett a couple of months ago and he had a batch of 6 done and seemed happy with them. Give him a call and see what he has. Maybe you can get on a list

Brett returned my email. He said he did run a small batch. Started a bigger batch but had problems with laser cutting. So he said things are on hold for know till after elk hunting.
