Durston 1085 Power TUI F130 Single Sided 130mm Flat & 10mm Roll Gap Rolling Mill - 128.156

Durston 1085 Power TUI F130 Single Sided 130mm Flat & 10mm Roll Gap Rolling Mill - 128.156

The Durston TUI F130 10mm Electric Rolling Mill is engineered for professional jewelers and metalsmiths who need to roll thicker sheet materials with precision and power. Capable of handling material up to 10mm thick and 130mm wide, this single-sided flat roll mill delivers consistent, uniform results across a wide range of precious and base metals. Built on the same precision engineering platform as Durston's Core DRM range, the TUI series achieves cost efficiency through a robust steel housing and a simplified control system without compromising performance or durability. The 1.1 kW motor, variable speed control, and included half-round side extensions make this mill a versatile centerpiece for any production studio or professional bench.

• Precision motor control: Equipped with a 1.1 kW motor and digitally controlled variable speed (forward and reverse), allowing fine-tuned pressure control and repeatable rolling results.
• Expanded forming versatility: Includes side extension rollers for half-round profiles (4, 3, 2, 1.5 mm), enabling wire shaping and profile work without changing equipment.
• Durston core engineering reliability: Shares key components with the DRM series (rolls and gearing), ensuring strong torque transfer, long-term durability, and consistent industrial performance.
• Workflow-focused design: Built for studio productivity with forward/reverse operation, safety controls, and low-maintenance steel-frame construction optimized for daily use in production environments.

Q&A

Q: What is the Durston TUI F130 Power Rolling Mill used for?
A: It is a professional powered rolling mill designed for sheet metal reduction, flattening, and light forming in jewellery and metal fabrication workshops.

Q: What makes this model part of the TUI range?
A: The TUI range delivers Durston core performance at a lower cost, using a steel-frame construction instead of full cast iron, while retaining key components like the motor, gearbox, and precision rollers.

Q: What is its rolling capacity?
A: It features a 130mm flat rolling width and can handle material up to 10mm thickness (roll gap capacity) for heavy sheet reduction.

Q: Does it support different rolling styles?
A: Yes, it is a flat-only mill with added side extension rolls, allowing half-round wire forming (4mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1.5mm profiles) for added versatility.

Q: What motor and control system does it use?
A: It uses a 1.1 kW motor with digitally controlled variable speed (approx. 5–20 RPM) and supports forward and reverse operation for precise control.

Q: Is it suitable for heavy-duty work?
A: Yes, it is designed for continuous studio and production use, handling thicker stock while maintaining consistent rolling accuracy and surface finish.

Q: What materials can it process?
A: It is suitable for gold, silver, copper, brass, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, commonly used in jewellery manufacturing.

Q: What makes this model stand out?
A: Its key strength is the combination of a wide 130mm rolling surface with a 10mm heavy roll gap capacity, making it suitable for both light precision work and thicker sheet reduction in one machine.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean blade after every use: Remove metal chips and filings from the cutting edge, table, and backstop to maintain precision cuts and prevent scoring.
• Lubricate pivot & drive system: Lightly oil the square drive mechanism, hinge points, and moving joints for smooth, high-torque operation.
• Rotate blade edges: The hardened blade has multiple cutting edges—rotate when performance drops instead of over-sharpening to extend service life.
• Check backstop alignment: Ensure the upgraded bearing-guided backstop is tight and stable for repeatable, accurate cuts.
• Avoid over-thickness cutting: Stay within rated capacity to protect blade integrity and maintain smooth leverage action.
• Keep table clean & rust-free: Wipe down stainless steel support table to ensure smooth sheet feeding and prevent drag.
• Tighten mounting bolts: Secure to a stable bench to avoid vibration and maintain cutting accuracy under load.
• Prevent corrosion: Lightly oil exposed metal surfaces if stored in humid environments.
