Anyone made a diy SpeedPress

They charge in the range of 300 bucks for the 2 presses.
Take some MDO. Buy some of the clear application tape.
Medium tact.
Buy some concentrated cleaning liquid. The stuff your supposed to mix with water to make a soapy cleaner.
Just cut the MDO into 2 inch strips and form a rectangle with screws.
Make one about 40 inches and one about 72-80 inches for banner type laydowns.
When the application tape stretched across the MDO gets dusty and has aluminum shards and what not stuck to it. Use the cleaner and wipe it down. Then wrap a paper towel around a squeegee and wipe it again.
It wont kill the adhesive and youll be good to go for another 3 weeks to a month.in this thread http://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=21462
I am interested in knowing has anyone tried this in real life and if so how did it work out for you.

Micheal, havnt tried it but it is a diy version of a professional tool. The speed press may save a few quid in app tape but is limited in the type of work you can use it for, Its mainly for long production runs, and on the bench. I would think, although no evidence to support (sure others have) an ezytaper would do a better and quicker job for this type of work,
