4.
Using a drill and 3/8” drill bit (not provided), drill the two previously marked holes
completely through the top of the workbench.
5.
Place the Mini Rolling Mill back upon the workbench, and align the two 3/8”
mounting holes on the Base Body (part #1) with the two previously drilled holes
in the workbench. Then, firmly secure the Mini Rolling Mill to the workbench with
two 3/8” diameter bolts of appropriate length, two lock washers, and two nuts (not
provided).
(See Figure B.)
To Attach The Handle:
1.
To attach the Handle (part #4) to the Mini Rolling Mill, insert the Handle onto its
Handle Shaft and secure the Handle with the Bolt and Washer (part #5).
(See Figure A.)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
For additional references to the parts listed below, refer to the
Assembly
Diagram (page 8)
.
1.
Insert the Gear Handle (part #7) into the top of the Mini Rolling Mill.
(See Figure B.)
2.
Prepare the material to be rolled: anneal (heat and then cool to soften and re-
duce brittleness) the piece of sheet or ingot, pickle (preserve) it, and rinse it with
clean water.
3.
Feed the metal into the
front
end of the Mini Rolling Mill by inserting the metal
between the two Rollers (part #23). Then, turn the Handle (part #4)
clockwise
.
Apply snug (but not overpowering) pressure on the Rollers.
NOTE:
To apply
greater pressure on the Rollers, turn the Gear Handle (part #7)
clockwise
. To
apply less pressure, turn the Gear Handle
counterclockwise
.
(See Figure B.)
4.
After rolling the metal completely through the Mini Rolling Mill, flip the metal end to
end before rolling it through again. This allows for a more even roll.
5.
Before passing the metal through the Rollers (part #23) again, apply greater
pressure to the Rollers until the metal passes through snugly.
(See Figure B.)
6.
If the metal becomes too hard to roll, it must be annealed (heated, then cooled)
again. Then roll the metal through the Rollers (part #23), repeating as necessary
until the desired thickness is achieved.
(See Figure B.)
7.
NOTE:
When rolling silver sheet, it may be necessary to anneal (heat, then cool)
the sheet after rolling it from
3.0mm
to
1.0mm
in thickness. For 14kt gold, the
annealing may be necessary after rolling from
3.0mm
to
2.0mm
.
