Shirt table height
« on: January 02, 2016, 06:36:52 AM »
What is the best height for the table that you put the shirts on while printing?
Ours are 32"
I'm building more, maybe there's a better height.

don't  if you can source these there, but for pennies you can get any height you want and alter it as the shirt stack changes.

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES COMPLETELY WITHIN MY CONTROL YOU SHOULD GET YOUR OWN TEE SHIRT AND A SHARPIE MARKER BY NOON TOMORROW OR SIMPLY CALL SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIRT.

we use these:

33-1/4" high.  I would like them a bit lower, but they work fine as is...

I've thought about the adjustable ones, but generally I just have our helpers stack on a 2nd cart so it doesn't get too high.

The hydraulic table is great, I'll have to look for them.
Pity I just shipped frames from the USA.

Aren't similar cheap Chinese hardware and tools available in Israel?
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

That adjustable cart is cool. I wonder if the gas lift from an old office chair could be used in a diy version?

Needs some thought, the one they sell is quite complicated to make.
I want to design one that will work on a car jack and lift from the middle, might need to support the corners.

Attached is a very practical production table many of you have asked about and even made.

I am surprised at how many people stop me a trade shows and say Thank You for this very basic idea.

You can make them whatever height you desire but the documented height works well for up to 360 t's with most loaders.

Happy New Year to All!

See many of you in LB.
