Frames are roughly 50 a pieceTool is 200panels about $20So for 6 frames, tool, panels= about $620
The Shurloc's look great, but to get started with the E-Z System and just 6 frames with mesh (S Mesh at 180) would set you back a grand, plus shipping, if I'm adding every thing right. For the same mesh (S Mesh at 180) I could pick up 30 statics from River City. I know the Shurloc's would be the way to go in the long run, but ouch.
We switched over to Shur Loc a few years back.The start up cost for the tensioning tool is nominal..Tons of thin thread options available for panels. The new thinner frames are killer,and hold great tension with next to no side frame bowing.Anyways - the Shur Loc system is super versatile. Thumbs up.Certainly makes life around here easier. Go for it.John
Retensionable frames are sold on just that fact: work harden and retension. Yet so many do not, ie whats the point?
We never had a roller master table, so tensioning screens was a hassle. Hardto keep the frames from becoming racked, and harder to use the torque wrench and other tensioning wrench.
