🔧 What it does & how to use
This microfold brake is a corrugating rolling mill used to press a ripple or fluted texture into flat sheet metal or die-formed blanks, adding strength and decorative interest to jewellery pieces. It's suited to hobbyist and professional jewellers alike, and can be bench mounted for stable, repeated use.
-
Mount the mill: Secure it to a sturdy bench using the base, as the corrugating rollers need firm resistance to work the metal evenly.
-
Prepare your metal: Cut sheet metal or your die-formed piece to size, keeping thickness within the mill's 24 gauge capacity.
-
Feed the metal: Insert the sheet between the corrugated rollers, aligning it square to the roller teeth.
-
Turn the crank: Wind the rollers steadily to draw the metal through, forming the ripple pattern as it passes.
-
Check the result: Inspect the corrugation depth and adjust roller pressure or re-pass the metal if a deeper texture is needed.
