Double Rolling Mill

Tool Info

Manufacturer: Dinkel
Model: K65

The Dinkel K65 is a precision rolling mill for flattening, imprinting, and forming square wire in soft metals.

Use the rolling mill to thin metals like copper, silver, and gold. Roll a sandwich of a soft metal plus a harder pattern plate to imprint patterns on soft metals. Use the range of square profiles to reduce square wire size.

Note that metal must be in a soft state — this usually means you must anneal it, often multiple times. To do this, we recommend using the jewelry torches.
