Description

A rolling machine takes the skill out of getting an even cylinder: you load the trough, close it, roll the apron with your thumbs and feed the paper through. These are the metal-bodied versions rather than the plastic ones, so the frame does not flex out of shape after a few months and the apron tension stays consistent. Two sizes, and the size has to match your papers – 79mm for 1 1/4 and single wide, 110mm for king size.

Why it stands out

Plastic rollers warp and their aprons stretch. A metal frame keeps the two rollers parallel, which is what actually determines whether you get a straight cylinder or a cone-shaped mess.

Specifications

• Body: Metal frame with fabric apron
• 79mm: Suits 1 1/4 size and single wide papers
• 110mm: Suits king size and king size slim papers
• Type: Two-roller apron machine

What’s included

One metal rolling machine in the size you select. Papers and tips are not included.

Compatibility

Match the machine to your paper length: 1 1/4 papers in a 110mm machine leave a gap, and king size papers will not close in a 79mm machine.

Care

Keep the apron dry and free of resin – a dirty apron slips and produces loose rolls. Wipe the rollers with a dry cloth occasionally.

Good to know

Only the two metal sizes are listed.
