I bought this to put photosensitive film onto circuit boards. This machine efforletssly does the job. I even tried this as an actual laminator if you can immagine that hehe. I took it apart because - reasons... This thing is a tank. Well made. I've used ( and taken apart ) far more expensive laminators and well, in different ways, they were superior but not by that much. To me, the coolest thing is that these are very inexpensive compared the the commercial units and these aren't all that far behind a basic commercial unit.
This is actually the second one I've bought. The first was a different brand, but all the mechanical parts totally interchange with each-other. The first one lasted for a few years with lots of abuse and in fact would still run had I not cut one of the rollers with a sharp piece of copper.
As they are inexpensive, I can't speak to how easy or hard it is to get parts but the first one I had I could not seem to buy a new roller for it. It was just cheaper to buy this one in hopes that it was indeed the same unit under a different brand. It is!
No more expensive one for me, I'll just get these from now on.
Pros: Cheap
Built like a tank.
Applies good and even pressure across the rollers.
Never had even a hint that it was struggling, even with thick PCB's going through it.
Temperature control is handy.
Cons: Kind of heavy.
A bit stinky when hot for a couple hours when brand new. Fine now though.
Temperature control is inaccurate. At least it's consistent which is always a must.
