August 8, 200520 yr Howdy!! I am thinking about looking into getting a small electric rolling mill..I had a brochure/price list from some place back east that was making them but for the life of me I don't know what I did with it... Anyone know of anyplace/anybody who is making these things??? Any help would be appreciated.. JPH
August 8, 200520 yr I "think" I remember seeing some reference on Anvilfire to a home made design that everyone liked. I'm sure Jock D. can provide the details.
August 8, 200520 yr You're *late*. They sold one at the last NM Tech Auction that was set up for powered use. Nice looking too; I didn't stick around for it as things were out of my price range and I had a scrap dealer willing to sell me some 1" plate for a treadle hammer base out of the stuff he bought next door. (Prices were much better than new; just $20 a week doesn't go far...) Thomas
August 8, 200520 yr Mr. H, lots of jewelry companies (such as Rio Grande) sell powered rolling mills that usually have 8" wide rollers. You may want to look into these... though they run around $8-10,000 apiece, if memory serves. If you need further help finding 'em I'll take a look around.
