Durston 1088 Power TUI F130 Single Sided 130mm Flat Rolling Mill - 128.141FLAT
The Durston Power TUI F130 is a single-sided, all-flat powered rolling mill delivering professional Durston performance at a more accessible price point. The TUI line achieves its cost advantage through a steel base and perforated aluminum gearbox cover in place of the cast iron base and cover found on the DRM series — while sharing the same motor, gearbox, and one-piece cast iron mill frame as those higher-tier mills. High-quality steel rolls run in heavy-duty roller bearings for reliable, repeatable sheet reduction in a professional studio or production environment.
Features
- All-flat 130 mm roll surface for consistent sheet reduction across the full roller width
- Side extension rolls with protective covers for half-round profile forming
- Variable speed with forward and reverse operation
- Emergency stop button plus front and rear safety bars for operator protection
- Metric and inch adjustable flywheels for precise gap control
- Same motor, gearbox, and cast iron rolling mill frame as Durston DRM mills
- TUI: Steel base and perforated aluminum gearbox cover — cost-optimized construction
- DRM: Cast iron base and cast iron gearbox cover — premium construction throughout
- Shared between both lines: Motor, gearbox, cast iron rolling mill frame, and all rolling components

What our Experts Think
Q&A
Q: What is the Durston 1088 Power TUI F130 Single-Sided Rolling Mill?
A: It’s a professional electric flat rolling mill featuring 130mm-wide flat rolls, designed for consistent sheet metal reduction in jewelry making and metalworking.
Q: What type of work is this rolling mill best for?
A: It’s ideal for flattening metal sheet, reducing thickness, and texturing, making it perfect for goldsmiths and silversmiths focused on sheet work rather than wire production.
Q: What are the key features of this model?
A: Key features include a 1.1kW 110V motor, variable speed control (5–20 RPM), forward/reverse operation, and 130mm flat rolling width for precision work.
Q: Does it include side extension rollers?
A: Yes, it includes side extension rollers with 4 half-round grooves (4mm–1.5mm), adding versatility for shaping wire profiles.
Q: What is the maximum sheet thickness capacity?
A: The mill can handle metal sheets up to approximately 6mm thick, suitable for most jewelry applications.
Q: What makes the TUI series different from Durston DRM mills?
A: The TUI range uses a steel base and cost-efficient construction, while maintaining the same motor, gearbox, and core rolling components as higher-end DRM mills.
Q: Is this rolling mill suitable for professional use?
A: Yes, it features heavy-duty bearings, hardened rolls, and a cast iron frame, making it reliable for continuous professional workshop use.
Q: What safety features are included?
A: It includes an emergency stop button, safety bars, and protective guards, ensuring safe operation during powered rolling.
Maintenance Tips
- Clean rollers after every use – Wipe the 130mm flat rolls to remove metal particles and debris, preserving the smooth surface for consistent sheet reduction.
- Apply light anti-rust oil – Use a thin coat of machine oil on rollers and exposed steel to prevent corrosion, especially in humid workshops.
- Lubricate gears & bearings – Maintain the gearbox and internal components with proper lubrication to support the 1.1kW motor and ensure smooth variable-speed operation (5–20 RPM).
- Avoid overloading capacity – Do not exceed ~6mm sheet thickness to prevent roller strain, misalignment, and motor wear.
- Use clean, annealed metal only – Rolling dirty or unannealed material increases stress on the flat rolls and reduces precision output.
- Protect side extension rollers – Keep the half-round extension grooves (4–1.5mm) clean and covered when not in use to avoid contamination and wear.
- Check alignment regularly – Ensure even pressure across the full 130mm width to maintain accuracy and prevent uneven rolling results.
- Inspect safety systems – Test emergency stop and safety bars periodically to ensure safe powered operation.
- Secure machine properly – Mount the ~110kg mill on a stable bench or stand to minimize vibration and maintain precision.
- Cover when idle – Use a dust cover to protect the flat rollers and motor housing from debris buildup.
