Acme Stretcher???
« on: January 30, 2013, 01:08:29 AM »
Anyone ever used this guy or know where to get it?

I emailed Sefar but haven't hear back.  All too often the case with some of these screen printing manufactures.  Maybe one day I'll be big enough to not have to return phone calls and emails. *shrug*

I like it.

That might be who I contacted.  Who knows.

Homer, does that work for bolt mesh and locking strips?  I've been wanting to ask someone if they would ever contact me about it.

I would think it would... it just grabs onto the edge of the channel and I would think there would be enough... but maybe not being that the mesh is also coming around that edge as well.

It only work with bolt mesh OR the green screen (now called Trax frames or some damn thing) roller/panel system. you can not use it with M3's and surloc panels. The "eagle claw" looking thing that grabs the edge of the frame is too big to fit inside the edge of the frame with the locking strip on surlocs... I found out the hard/expensive way....I have a dozen or so of the green screen rollers and they BLOW...I ordered one frame about a year ago and It was basically an M3, same diameter rollers, really not a bad frame. So I ordered a dozen or so, but NOW they are smaller than an MZX and they warp like a mo fo at any tension...so they are sitting on a shelf.....almost useless....they warp terribly...

...keep doing what you're doing, you'll only get what you've got...

We have the one from Sefar and it will work with M3's. It's handy versus trying to do it manually with the wrench. It works on the Sefar roller panels also and we use it for bolt mesh. When using M3s you have to take 2 of the spacers off.

I was told it would not work with ShurLoc panels because the locking strips are curved and the tool that grabs the roller won't fit in the channel. I haven't tried si I don't know for sure. We have been using Sefar panels with Emesh and bolt mesh.

We use ours almost daily and no complaints so far. Price seems a little steep for what it is but then what isn't.
