I need to buy a 'Rolling Mill', any suggestions ?

Need to get a new Rolling Mill. I don't really want to spend any more
than about $700.00 as my use for it will be VERY basic (texturing
metal, flattening out small ingots). I know nothing about 'rolling
mills' so any suggestions or information would be very welcome.

Thanks,

You're not going to get much for $700.00.

I found a beautiful electric Dinkel for you on eBay. Unfortunately it
is in Germany. http://tinyurl.com/ahv879

I found another one on the US eBay site at http://tinyurl.com/dhv24f
The seller wants $800.00 for it. He claims the rolls are in perfect
condition, but they don't look that way in the photo. Maybe they are
covered in wax. Hard to tell from the photos. Handle missing, which
you must have to operate. Contact the seller and bargain. Offer him
$400, but only if the rolls are indeed in good condition. Having them
reground is costly and a hassle.

I'd look for a used one from one of the used equipment dealers in
Providence, RI

Besides, even if it weren't, what about "Der Anschluss"?

Sorry I didn´t read so far. Anyway it´s sold in the meantime.

the next politically and emotional mining field. :-)

How Local? within say 1hr's driving?
If so, take some metal samples with you, plus the purchase money and
go and try them out.
The spec looks ok for the sort of use you will giveit.
Let us know if you try one out.

Pepe tools are made in Russia, mediocre quality, but not all bad.

I found this one at Rio and it looks like just the Rolling Mill I
might Need !

It looks like it might be of better quality than the PEPE unit. I
like the fact that it has a much wider 'FLAT" surface too. What do
you folks think... ?

You won't regret buying a Durston Mill. Highest quality, great customer service
and support in the rare event you need it. Note several models available. The
one you flagged has an 80 mm flat roll, with wire grooves for the rest. If you
don't need the wire, you can get it all flat (130 mm), but I'd guess the wire
rolls are useful, and you'll likely find 80 mm of flat capacity will serve
almost any needs for normal jewelry scale work. Do a quick price comparison
with the Italian Cavallin mills too, before choosing. Equal quality, though
not as accessable customer service from the manufacturer. But if from Rio or a
similar good supplier, that's not an issue, since they too provide good support.
