- Mini combination rolling mill with 7 rolls of size 3" x 1 5/8" supplied with high quality ss gears and wheels 2 Plain, 2 Wire, 2 Textured, 1 V-Grooved and Half Round.
- Weight 28kg.
- As with all rolling mills they are for use with nonferrous metals.
- A rolling mill is a tool used to apply pressure to metal to flatten and lengthen it.
- A rolling mill is often used to press an ingot (a block of metal) into more easily workable sheet or wire.
- It is very useful in flattening and stretching metal, very good also for the fusing process between two pieces of metal. Other uses include roll printing or patterning.
- It is a good idea to anneal the metal to eliminate potential brittleness.
- The rollers:
- 2 plain rolls for sheet rolling
- 2 wire rolls for wire drawing
- 1 roll with cross checks and flat checks
- 1 roll with dull and lining
- 1 roll with v groove and half round
- The combination rolling mill has a max capacity to draw sheets of 5swg (approx. 4mm) and a minimum 26swg approx.4mm, if a sheet bigger than 5mm is used then there will be pressure on the edge of the gears and that isn’t healthy for the machine's well-being as it could crack the gears.
- The maximum capacity is 50gms gold.
- Dimensions approx. width 5" length 7.5" and overall including gears approx. 10".
