    This conversation is gone off topic. It started with rolling mills,
    and then pliers and other tools were introduced. 

    There are tools which do not have to be the best, but rolling mill
    is not one of them. The only choice is either to get a motorized one,
    or a hand-cranked. 

    If someone thinks that he can get away with cheap rolling mill, he
    does not need one. Just bye whatever one need from a refiner. 

    It would take too long to get into the mechanics of rolling, so it
    would surface to say that for a metal to come out flat after the
    rolling, the rolls must be of large diameter, the frame must be
    massive, the force transfer must be smooth, and etc. These are
    expensive requirements, no matter where it is made.
