Rollmade IV "Universal Roller"
UMM-USA has provided the Rollmade IV “Universal Roller” for review. This tool is use for photoetch, brass, copper, and aluminum sheets to create rolls in diameters of 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0mm. It does NOT come with a roller pin but any wood dowl or metal rod will suffice.
It is made from a harden tempered aluminum and the overall size is: L 90mm x W 20mm x H 10mm. Very compact and easy to store.For this review, I used some leftover brass PE, Eduard metal PE, and soft copper wire along with a metal straw (as a roller) to test. Each piece of material formed with ease in the Rollmade IV. I do recommend using a larger diameter roller versus the straw I used since the “springing action” of the material will want to conform to the roller that is used.
Conclusions
This is a neat tool to have which will allow you create circular roll shapes forphotoetch, brass, copper, and aluminum sheets. If you do a lot of scratch building or need round shapes for these materials, then this will be a great time saver.
I want to thank UMM-USA for providing the Rollmade IV “Universal Roller” and IPMS/USA for allowing me the opportunity to review.
Recommend for everyone!
