Durston 1051 Double D2 130mm Rolling Mill - 128.116
The Durston Double D2-130mm Rolling Mill is a compact, production-ready combination mill built for professional shops and schools that require both flat sheet rolling and wire rolling in a single machine. Upper flat rolls and lower square wire rolls run on maintenance-free, lifetime-guaranteed bearings, while large hand-wheel adjusters, a groove indicator on the wire rolls, and a calibrated roll-gap dial in both millimeters and inches (down to 0.001"/0.025 mm) make repeatable setup fast and dependable. The dual reduction gearbox delivers either torque or speed on demand, and side extension half-rounds enable quick forming of "D" profiles without additional tooling.
Features
- Dual reduction gearbox with 7:1 and 3.5:1 ratios for power or speed as needed
- Calibrated roll-gap dial graduated in both inches and millimeters for precise thickness control
- Wire groove indicator to track the last pass position
- Side extension half-rounds for quick forming of "D" profiles in four sizes
- Maintenance-free bearings on both upper and lower rolls
- 19 square wire groove sizes ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm
- Large hand-wheel adjusters for smooth, controlled gap setting

-
Smooth, Stable Operation
Integrated roller bearings and protected gearing system deliver consistent rolling performance with minimal vibration and high operational safety.
-
Workshop-Focused Efficiency
Designed for goldsmiths and silversmiths needing one machine that handles both sheet and wire production without compromising precision or strength.
Q&A
Q: What is the Durston 1051 Double D2 130mm Rolling Mill?
A: It is a professional-grade double-sided manual rolling mill designed for jewelry and metalworking, featuring a 130mm flat rolling surface and a grooved wire rolling section in one machine.
Q: What makes the Double D2 different from standard rolling mills?
A: It has two separate roller systems—one optimized for flat sheet reduction and another for wire rolling—allowing faster workflow without changing setups.
Q: What materials can it process?
A: It is suitable for gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals, commonly used in jewelry manufacturing and silversmithing.
Q: What is the roller capacity and width?
A: It offers a full 130mm working width, giving wide sheet coverage and consistent pressure across the material.
Q: Does it include wire rolling options?
A: Yes, it includes a grooved roller system for square wire forming, supporting multiple wire sizes for precision shaping.
Q: Does it have side extension rollers?
A: Yes, it includes side extension rollers with half-round profiles, expanding forming capabilities for decorative and functional wire shapes.
Q: How does the gear system help?
A: It uses a reduction gearbox (7:1 for flat rolling, 3.5:1 for wire), making heavy rolling significantly easier and more controlled.
Q: Is it suitable for professional use?
A: Yes, it is built for continuous workshop use, with hardened rolls and heavy-duty construction for long-term durability.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean rollers after every use – Wipe both flat and wire rollers to remove metal dust and prevent scoring on the 130mm hardened surfaces (64 HRC).
-
Light oil protection – Apply a thin coat of rust-preventive oil (e.g., 3-in-1) when storing; always wipe clean before rolling metal.
-
Keep grooves debris-free – The 19 wire grooves (1–10mm) and extension half-rounds must be cleaned regularly to maintain accurate profiles.
-
Lubricate gears & bearings – Use standard lithium or gear grease on the reduction gearbox for smooth, low-effort rolling (7:1 flat / 3.5:1 wire ratio).
-
Avoid overloading – Do not exceed ~6mm sheet or ~10mm wire capacity to prevent stress on rolls and frame.
-
Check alignment regularly – Ensure both roll sets remain evenly calibrated across the full 130mm width for consistent thickness results.
-
Store covered in dry conditions – Prevent humidity exposure to avoid surface rust and long-term pitting of precision rollers.
-
No hand contact on rolls – Oils/acid from skin can mark hardened steel; always use clean tools or cloth handling.
-
Secure mounting – Keep bolted to a rigid bench; the ~74kg cast frame relies on stability for precision rolling.
