Durston 1041 Lucinda Easy Roll C130 Combination Rolling Mill - 128.1041

Durston 1041 Lucinda Easy Roll C130 Combination Rolling Mill - 128.1041

This combination rolling mill brings the familiar DRM-style frame together with the Easy Roll gearbox so sheet and wire reductions feel smoother with less effort at the handle. As you roll, the high 15:1 reduction lets metal feed through the polished rolls in a steady, controlled pass rather than a hard push.

Features

• 15:1 Easy Roll gearbox reduces manual effort while maintaining a responsive, controlled feel.
• Combination roll layout with both flat area and square wire grooves for versatile fabrication.
• Approx. 75 mm flat rolling section supports sheet and pattern rolling in a compact format.
• Side extensions with four half-round grooves (about 4 mm down to 1.5 mm) add extra forming options.
• Eleven square wire grooves (about 8 mm down to 1 mm) cover common wire sizes for general bench work.
• Solid single-cast body with induction-hardened rolls designed for long-term workshop use.
• Compact footprint makes it easy to fit the mill onto a stand or heavy bench without wasting space.
• Precision-ground and polished rolls help deliver smooth surfaces and consistent reductions.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean rollers after every use – Wipe the 130mm combination rolls (flat + wire grooves + extensions) to remove metal dust and prevent surface marking on the induction-hardened steel (~64 HRC).
• Apply light rust protection oil – Use a thin film of machine oil when the mill is idle; always clean completely before rolling to avoid contaminating metal stock.
• Care for the 15:1 Easy Roll gearbox – The reduced-effort gearbox is efficient but still needs periodic light grease to keep rolling smooth and prevent long-term wear.
• Keep wire grooves and side extensions clean – Regularly remove debris from the 11 square grooves and half-round extension grooves to maintain precise wire forming and consistent results.
• Avoid overloading thickness – Do not exceed ~6mm sheet capacity; reduce metal gradually in multiple passes to protect rollers and gearbox stability.
• Use only clean, annealed metal – Dirty or work-hardened stock increases roller wear and reduces finish quality.
• Check roller alignment regularly – Ensure even pressure across the full 130mm width to prevent uneven wear and maintain consistent output.
• Secure mounting is essential – Bolt firmly to a stable bench or heavy stand to handle torque and ensure precision rolling under load.
• Store in dry conditions – Prevent humidity exposure to avoid corrosion on precision-ground rollers and internal components.
• Never touch rollers with bare hands – Skin oils can stain hardened steel over time; handle with clean gloves or tools when possible.
