Used Open-Box Durston 1002 Hobby 80 Economy Rolling Mill

A rolling mill flattens and reduces metal at the bench, taking material up to 4mm thick across 80mm flat rollers. This is a Used Open-Box Durston 1002 Hobby 80 Economy Rolling Mill because it was a customer return due to one of the gears being defective and not spinning; it has since been sent back to the manufacturer for repair, fully tested, and confirmed in good working condition. The unit may show cosmetic wear such as scratches from prior use and some dirt or grime. It is sold as open-box because the original box has been opened and retaped, though it is the original packaging.

The Durston 1002 Hobby 80 Economy Rolling Mill is engineered to deliver reliable performance and lasting durability at an accessible price point. Developed specifically to give jewelers and beginners a quality entry-level option, this mill stands apart from crude, heavy economy imports by combining intelligent design with Durston's commitment to precision manufacturing.

As standard, the Hobby 80 is equipped with 80mm flat rollers for a generous flat rolling surface suited to a wide range of jewelry projects. When paired with the optional additional roller (not included, see part no. 128.8099), the mill can also produce D-shaped and triangular wire profiles with exceptional precision. The one-piece cast iron frame provides unmatched strength and stability, while the lightweight design reduces shipping costs and makes the mill easier to move around the shop, a clear advantage over heavier India-made economy alternatives.
