Durston 1045 DRM-Round150RE Rolling Mill with Reduction Gear & Extension Rolls

Durston is the first to make a rolling mill with Full Round Wire rolls, so the most common shape used in jewelry work is now available with few if any passes through a draw plate.

The wire shape in just about every wire rolling mill ever made has always been used for simply reducing wire, not for making a final wire shape. The actual shape could be described as a diamond, or more precisely, each half of the wire hole is a triangle with a flat top. If you wanted to make round wire you would still have to draw it through a draw plate. With Durston's new full round wire shape rolling mill, you now have actual round wire. You may still need to pull it through a round draw plate to remove the slight flash that may occur between the 2 half round shapes, but for many uses you will have a nice and round piece of wire ready to go. 

This new 150mm round wire rolling mill has a reduction gear for making reductions in wire size far easier. The side rolls allow the easy rolling of half round shanks. This Durston mill has self-lubricating maintenance free bearings and hardened helical drive gears with special form for maximum drive. A calibrated dial on both top wheels with pointer makes for precise and easy to read gap measurement.

When shopping for a quality rolling mill remember this-Durston rolling mills hold their value better than any tool you are ever likely to buy. Made in Great Britain.
