Rolling Mill
I'm thinking of buying a rolling mill. I want to use the mill to produce
texture and pattern on sheet and strip silver (and other metals). I'd also want to use it to taper wire or at least begin/speed up the process of hand forging. I've read around the subject and looked at websites and catalogues but have not had the luxury of actually getting my hands on one to get the feel of the equipment in use. I think this could be a really useful piece of equipment for me and I'm willing to spend something between £500 and £1000 if I have to. One of my dilemmas is how useful am I going to find a model with lots of wire grooves? and will I need to build up more bits of equipment like draw plates to get best use out of the mill. So, in brief do I get a basic but solid, rugged rolling mill that will handle the tasks of texturing and tapering well but not too much else, ordo I spend more and buy a machine with lots of grooves etc, etc. All contributions to my decision making will be gratefully received, and just in case it makes a difference to any responses, I'm in the UK. Regards - Kendall |
