5 Tips: How to Choose the Right Rolling Mill for Your Needs?
A reliable rolling mill is essential, so invest wisely to avoid frequent and expensive upgrades. Our product range includes mills made by Durston – the market leader in precision rollers, and for good reason: their quality is unmatched.
Main considerations:
- Build quality: Look for mills made from durable materials like cast iron (e.g. by Durston ) to ensure longevity and precision.
- Purpose: What will you primarily use the mill for - sheets, wire, or both? Some machines specialize in one or the other.
- Level of use: For hobbyists, budget-friendly options may suffice, but professionals should invest in cutting-edge models.
- Size: Decide the sheet width and metal thickness you want to work with. Choose a mill that is able to accommodate it.
- Manual vs. electric: Manual mills offer hands-on control; electric models enable mass production.
Manual rolling mills in different price ranges:
Manual rolling mills are usually equipped with gears – the more gears, the easier and smoother the rolling. For example, if the mill has a gear ratio of 4:1, the handle must be turned 4 times to rotate the rollers once. If the handle is too difficult to turn, the results will not be as even.
