More than likely yes, I used to work in the veneer room of a very high end custom corporate furniture company and we had a much larger version, the heat will have you pressed up and ready to go in no time.

I am not familiar with this but it will not do curved (vertically) work like a vacuum bag. Maybe, that is not important to you.

I would imagine it has enough ommph , they have been selling the junior for a long time.

2 things it looks low, you will be bending down when you put your panel in. The one I used we had the (well one of them) glueup/layup table in front of it and the platten was a bit higher, I can’t remember how much but we had to lift the panels to get them in. Our substrate was 1” or 1.25” mdf - wouldn’t want to bend down loading one of those. ?We also had to put in spacers to fill in the dead space, not sure if it was because ours was so big (5’ x 10’ i think) but not really a big deal - just some squares of the same thickness in the corners and here and there depending on the unfilled space. But the awesome thing is you don’t need plattens for the panel you are glueing up and it is fast because of the heat.?

Dmitry,
I haven't seen the Jr. in action, but larger versions yes. The primary benefit is speed of throughput.? You have to press a lot of veneer to justify that. Our 5x10' vacuum press is in use more often than not, and I wouldn't consider it. I do outsource some components to Saunders Veneer Specialties in Wisconsin precisely because of them being hot pressed however.

There's a used one on Woodweb for $12k

Mark,

??????? Do you remember what the glue of choice was for hot press work?

Hi Tom, I do not. I don’t remember mixing it, am thinking unibond rings a bell

A high end architectural veneer shop near me uses diluted TiteBond, not sure which number, applied with a paint roller.? The moisture cooks off amazingly fast - compared to 24 hours in torsion boxes and clamps.

Did they use same hot press ?
I noticed it’s not opens wider ... I can imagine putting 4x8 sheets.
