Re: Rolling Mill

I posted this once before but image was too big to work. I hope this will post a smaller pic. It is the small rolling mill I built last month. The rollers are 2" and the gearmotor is 1/4ph with a 58:1 output turning 30rpm. The final roller speed is ~20rpm to get ~12fpm. It works well on cable and R/R spikes.

We want to see the photo too.
Can you try to post it again,please?

That is cool!

That is pretty nice, I like the location of the forge.
Have you used it much yet? Can you weld with it?

Now we can see it.THANKS.
I want to hear how it works.Keep us posted,OK?
BE BLESSED.

Mark: Nice setup. I have a few questions.
* lower roller, works off a foot pedal and cam to apply presser??
* which direction do the rollers turn toward the front?
* what type of elavator or pivot on the lower roller for the upward movement??

Sorry for the slow reply Indian George, the drive roller rolls both forward and backward but works best when rolling out toward you. The foot peddle works as a pivot. The rod form the foot peddle to the roller is 3/4" SS pipe with a nut welded on top with a bolt screwed into it. This allows an adjustment for the amount the rollers open. Hope this helps.
