This is my first rolling mill and so far it has worked perfectly for me. I've made a complete set of earrings, pendant and cuff bracelet with embossed patterns on them, plus I've used it to roll down wire to the size I needed to make the jump rings, also used it to roll down wire to make a silver ring... I did all this without a single problem.. it works exactly as it is supposed to. After using it for a while I now wonder why I would spend any more on a more expensive rolling mill.
