    This is the exact same mill I recently bought from a jewellers'
    tools supplier on ebay. I got it for a similar price. I was warned
    not to buy a rolling mill from India as they don't tend to use
    hardened steel in their tools, but one of the specs of this mill was
    a decent Rockwell hardness figure of 80-82 for the rollers. 

    I've been happy with it so far although I've not used it extensively
    yet. I'm still just reducing the thickness of square wire or sheet. I
    thought it had broken a couple of weeks ago but my husband just took
    it apart and tightened everything up and it was as good as new
    again. It seems to be a very good beginner's or small studio rolling
    mill. I've not swapped out the rollers for any of the alternative
    ones yet as I'm not sure how. I'm sure it's pretty easy but I'll get
    hubby to sort that out for me when the need arises. 

    It would be useful if someone with more experience of this mill
    could comment, as a beginner like me recommending something doesn't
    necessarily inspire confidence to more experienced people who want
    such a tool.
