Pepe Tools newest family of Rolling Mills, The Ultra Series, made in Oklahoma City, OK. USA are redesigned for Jewelers and Crafts-people. This series is 30 to 50 percent the weight of Casted Rolling Mills, made from precision steel for ultra strength and durability.
Rolling Mills are designed for cold rolling metal to produce thinner gauges of sheet metal and wire, transferring textures to your metal and to make the thickness uniform.
Pepe Tools reduction gear ratio of 4:1 allows the rollers to make one complete turn for every four turns of the rolling mill handle. This relieves the amount of force needed to operate the rolling mill.
The "T" bar at the top of the Rolling Mill is used to open or close the rollers. When completely closed the rollers , should measure "true" cylindrically. This means they should touch with no visible gaps. Should there ever be a gap, meaning the rollers are not "true", simply remove the two small screws holding the "T" bar cover , pull the "T" bar handle off and turn the large gears to move the roller(s) down until there is no visible gap, making them "true", then re-install the "T" bar and cover.
Using your Pepe Tools Ultra Rolling Mill is easy:
To roll metal, open the rollers to accept the metal and close the rollers around the metal using the "T" bar until the rollers touch and hold the metal. Set the indicator dials on the large gears to "0" (zero). Turn the side-handle on the mill clockwise to test pass the metal through. Start rolling with the handle in the "up", or 12 o'clock position. It's easier to start the movement of rolling the metal by pushing rather than pulling up (like from the 6 o'clock position).
Pushing the roller forward away from your body will lessen the strain on your back.
Once the test pass has been completed, you will want to turn the "T" bar clockwise one quarter of the space between the markings on top of the gears, any greater distance could damage the mill. Continue to pass the metal through the rollers until the desired thickness is achieved.
Remember to care for your investment. Lightly oil, using a small cloth towel and oil, then drape the cloth over the rollers to protect them from rust when not in use. Keep the mill clean and occasionally apply a light coating of oil to the entire frame. Always keep your roller surfaces clean and free from dust and debris.
NOTE: when your rolling mill arrives, the machine is bolted to cardboard at the bottom of the "inner box". Take out styrofoam and packaging first, remove the handle,. When all the parts are out except the main machine, grasp the rolling mill by the metal bar, below the "T" handle and above the rollers, lift it out of the box.
