Durston 1039 Agile C165mm Combo Rolling Mill With Reduction Gear

A combination rolling mill reduces sheet and wire shapes at one station, so a studio can move between flat stock and profiled wire without changing machines. The Durston Agile C165mm Combination Rolling Mill brings serious capacity to the bench in a thoughtfully streamlined package. At 165 mm wide, this mill handles both sheet and wire reduction with ease, with a combination roller design that carries flat sheet surfaces, square wire grooves and half-round profiles all in one unit.

In place of a heavy cast handwheel, the Agile line uses a traditional T-bar for roll opening adjustment, a practical design choice that reduces weight without compromising performance. Unlike the DRM line, this mill does not include outside half-round extension rollers. The rolls are induction hardened to 64 HRC to a depth of 6 mm, delivering long-term durability under demanding studio and production use. Bearings are self-lubricating and maintenance-free.

The heavy-duty 5-to-1 reduction gearbox is a standout feature, making it significantly easier to turn the rolls under load. Behind the gear cover, two specially formed gears contribute to exceptionally smooth rolling action. A protective guard surrounds the top gears for added safety during operation.

Notes

The wire grooves in this mill use what Durston calls a traditional wire groove, a six-sided irregular hexagon profile sometimes called a diamond or square groove, which is structurally strong, straightforward to produce, and compatible with a wide range of drawplate profiles. These grooves are designed for reducing wire diameter so you can produce various shaped wire profiles using drawplates and are generally not intended for producing finished product directly.
