I'm looking for a rolling mill either new or used. Do you know of any?
Thanks I'll look him up.Tyrell Knife works
I just watched the video and about the 10:26 mark Tyrell mentions the cost as $1800 + $500 shipping. Still not bad for a nice rolling mill. Cheaper than a press. Ahhh, men and their toys.Check out Tyrell Knife works. He bought a new one for around $800 if I remember right?
I find a number of smiths including Tyrell have a rolling made by David Barfield in OK, but I haven't been able to find him.
I joined to find out.Older post but there is a number?
There are a couple plans out there. I bet if you are willing to wait for a right angle gear drive motor at the right price you could build one for under 1KI found David Barfield on Bladesmithing For Beginners. Current price quoted is $2400 + shipping. That's about what I was thinking. I'll order one if I can sell my LG50.
At Automation Direct, the correct gear reduction (60:1) is $261 and the 1 hp motor (1750rpm) is $253. I'm pretty sure I could source the rest of the parts under $500.I bet if you are willing to wait for a right angle gear drive motor at the right price you could build one for under 1K
