? ?Looking for opinions on these two presses sold by Rangate.? If anybody has a Barth I'd be particularly interested in your thoughts on how well suited it is to clamping windows and doors (which Rangate lists as a negative)
BarthPositive? Ships flat packed so shipping?costs are reduced
? Many options available
? Available in 2.5m / 3m / 4m?lengths
? Base model is cost effective, but?with no options.
Negative? Because it is a bolted frame, the amount of?force that can be applied is reduced, which?can make it difficult to clamp heavy frames?such as windows and doors
? Client must decide which model is correct for?sizing and budget, then this model is theirs?forever. Models to choose are RP / RPG /?RPGL. There is no expandability between?models only additional options.
? The delivery is lengthy, estimated 12-16?weeks at this time.
? Full assembly is required.
? Parts and service are now managed from?Germany to North American market.
