Title: Just finished assembling my new Kruzer...
Post by: jvanick on July 10, 2014, 03:59:06 PM: 2nd piece of 'blue' gear in the shop ;)

so far, very impressed, and much nicer than the 1980's something manual press we were using before.

only 'small' complaint: the bolts that hold the heads in place with the 'flat' are a PITA to get in place properly... everything else went together really nicely..

Title: Re: Just finished assembling my new Kruzer...
Post by: jvanick on July 10, 2014, 05:38:09 PM: roughly an hour and a half... plus another 10-15 minutes to adjust the platen mounts.

went really smooth...

Post by: jvanick on August 13, 2014, 09:55:15 AM: I ordered from my normal print supply vendor, and it took about a week from when I placed the order to receiving it.

Post by: Sbrem on August 13, 2014, 10:05:55 AM: I'm a little surprised you have to assemble it at all, but maybe that's part of the lower cost, not having to send a tech. And it's certainly not too difficult for the typical screen printer, jacks of all trades that we try to be. Congrats on a new press, always a good thing.

Post by: jvanick on August 13, 2014, 10:12:40 AM: you can order it assembled.. I believe the fee was like $350 or something like that...

but... then it requires truck shipping rather than UPS shipping...

Post by: mimosatexas on August 13, 2014, 12:42:43 PM: It is very easy to put together in my opinion. Not having to have it crated is a huge advantage for smaller shops in my opinion.

Post by: RichN on August 13, 2014, 01:38:33 PM: The cost to have the Kruzer shipped assembled is $500.00 and you are correct about having it shipped by truck and a forklift is needed to unload.
Congratulation's and enjoy your new press.
