The Digital Knight DK14S is Geo Knight's most portable, lowest-cost Swing-Away press. The 12x14 heat platen uses the same SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology with LifeTime Warranty as all other Digital Knight Swing-Away presses. The DK14S utilizes the same heavy-duty solid steel industrial grade style clamping mechanism as the DK20S and DC16, along with the same accurate and easy to use digital electronics. It also boasts the same 2" product thickness range as the rest of the Digital Swing-away line, but with a simpler non-interchangeable base design and smaller more portable platen size. For a low-cost Digital Swing-Away press with the same warranties & heater & digital controls as our famous Swing-Away line, but in a portable design and size at an amazing price, the DK14S is the best USA-made option in the industry.
