Durston 1019 Agile C110 Combo Rolling Mill - 128.124C110

Durston 1019 Agile C110 Combo Rolling Mill - 128.124C110

The Durston Agile C110 Combination Rolling Mill delivers professional-grade performance in a lighter, more competitively priced package. Engineered with a thinner frame than the DRM 110 line, the Agile C110 maintains full structural integrity for everyday studio use without sacrificing roll quality or durability. A traditional T-bar replaces the heavy cast handwheel for roll opening adjustment, contributing to meaningful weight and cost savings.

The combination rolls span 110mm and are divided into three functional zones: 50mm flat, 22mm half-round, and 33mm wire grooves — giving jewelers and metalsmiths versatile forming options in a single mill. Rolls are induction hardened to 64 HRC to a depth of 6mm, ensuring long-term wear resistance. Bearings are self-lubricating and maintenance free.

The heavy-duty 4-to-1 gearbox sets this mill apart, making roll turning significantly easier and reducing operator fatigue. Two specially formed gears behind the cover contribute to smoother rolling action. A protective guard surrounds the top gears for added safety.

Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Clean rollers after every use – Wipe the 110mm combination rolls (flat + wire grooves + half-rounds) to remove filings and prevent scoring on the 64 HRC induction-hardened surface.
• Light oil protection when idle – Apply a thin anti-rust oil film for storage, then fully clean before use to avoid contaminating metal stock.
• Maintain gearbox (4:1 reduction) – The heavy-duty gearbox reduces effort but still benefits from periodic light grease to keep rolling smooth and consistent.
• Keep grooves and profiles clean – Regularly clear square wire grooves and half-round channels to maintain precise wire forming and prevent debris buildup.
• Avoid overloading thickness – Stay within ~5.5mm sheet capacity; reduce in gradual passes instead of forcing heavy reductions.
• Use only clean, annealed metal – Dirty or hardened stock increases roller wear and reduces surface quality and accuracy.
• Check alignment regularly – Ensure even pressure across the full 110mm width to avoid tapering and uneven wear.
• Secure mounting is essential – Bolt firmly to a stable bench; rigid support is critical for precision rolling and gearbox longevity.
• Store in dry conditions – Prevent humidity exposure to protect rollers, gears, and bearings from corrosion.
• Avoid hand contact on rollers – Skin oils can mark precision-ground steel over time; handle with clean gloves or tools.
