Durston Hobby 80 Rolling Mill

The Durston Hobby 80 Rolling Mill is a compact, entry-level rolling mill designed for jewelers, hobbyists, and small studio workshops. Built with Durston’s renowned engineering quality, this mill offers reliable performance in a small footprint while maintaining the durability and precision expected from professional jewelry tools.

Manufactured from one-piece cast iron construction, the Hobby 80 provides excellent strength and rigidity, ensuring smooth and stable rolling. The precision-hardened and ground rollers (64 HRC) deliver consistent results when flattening wire or reducing sheet thickness.

The mill features a 3:1 reduction gearbox, making it easier to roll metal with less effort while maintaining good control over thickness adjustments. Standard models include flat rollers, while an optional top roller can be added to create additional wire shapes such as triangular or D-shaped profiles.

Designed to be compact yet powerful, the Hobby 80 is ideal for bench-top use and provides an affordable entry point into professional jewelry metal forming.
