Durston 1032 DRM F150RE Flat 150mm Rolling Mill with Reduction Gear & Extension Rolls - 128.119N

Durston 1032 DRM F150RE Flat 150mm Rolling Mill with Reduction Gear & Extension Rolls - 128.119N

The Durston DRM F150RE is a professional-grade flat rolling mill engineered for jewelers and metalsmiths who demand precision, durability, and long-term value. Part of Durston's flagship DRM (Durston Rolling Mill) line, this 150mm all-flat sheet rolling mill is widely regarded as among the finest rolling mills available. Built in Great Britain, the F150RE combines a robust reduction gear with integrated extension rolls for versatile studio use.

A 5-to-1 reduction gearbox makes large passes significantly easier, reducing operator fatigue when working with heavier gauges or harder metals. The hardened helical drive gears feature a special tooth form designed for maximum drive efficiency and long service life. Self-lubricating, maintenance-free bearings keep the mill running smoothly without ongoing upkeep. Calibrated dials on both top wheels, each fitted with a precision pointer, allow for accurate and repeatable gap measurement at a glance.

The included side extension rolls provide four half-round profiles—4mm, 3mm, 2mm, and 1.5mm—making it straightforward to roll half-round wire and shanks without a separate tool. Made in Great Britain.

Specifications

What our Experts Think

• Heavy-duty precision sheet rolling: The Durston 1032 DRM F150RE (128.119N) is a professional 150mm flat rolling mill built for accurate, repeatable sheet reduction in demanding workshop environments.
• Powerful 5:1 reduction gearbox: Reduces operator effort while maintaining smooth, controlled pressure—ideal for working thicker gauges and harder metals with consistency.
• Wide 150mm working area: Large roll width supports broader sheet stock, improving efficiency for larger jewelry components and production runs.
• Integrated extension rolls: Includes four half-round profiles (1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm), enabling quick wire shaping without additional tools.
• Built for long-term durability: Cast iron frame with induction-hardened rolls ensures rigidity, wear resistance, and consistent finish quality over years of use.
• Workshop-grade precision control: Calibrated adjustment wheels provide accurate gap setting for repeatable results and reduced material waste.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean rollers after each use: Remove metal dust and particles from both flat and extension grooves to maintain precision rolling and prevent surface marking.
• Light lubrication: Apply a thin coat of anti-rust oil on rollers and gears when idle, then wipe clean before use to avoid contamination of metal.
• Protect hardened rolls: Avoid hardened, dirty, or thick over-capacity material to prevent damage to the induction-hardened 150mm rollers.
• Use gradual reductions: Roll in small stages to reduce stress on the 5:1 gearbox and maintain long-term gear alignment.
• Keep extension grooves clean: Clear half-round channels (4, 3, 2, 1.5mm) regularly for accurate wire and shank forming.
• Check alignment regularly: Ensure rollers remain parallel for consistent sheet thickness and smooth operation.
• Protect from moisture: Store in a dry environment and cover when not in use to prevent corrosion on cast iron and steel components.
• Inspect gearbox operation: Ensure smooth rotation with no unusual resistance or noise to avoid early wear.
