looking for small stock (jewelry/ hobby applications) - what is the smallest stock this ring roller will take?

It can go pretty small. It cannot however turn a circle smaller than the diameter of its own rollers. Also, the rollers have a crosshatched surface, and they biteinto the surface of the material being turned. There is a substantial groove in each roller - about 1/4" wide by 1/8" deep ( although I haven't measured it ). The inside surface of this groove is smooth. I think this tool is mostly for ornamental iron applications. I'm using it to curve steel strap that is 1" wide by 1/8" thick, and for that it works pretty well.

I don't think it's a question of stock size but rather what is the smallest diameter ring you can make. As stated in the previous answer, the semi-circular groove is intended for round stock material and when rolling 1/4 inch diameter or smaller stock the finished product comes out smooth. However, the smallest diameter round stock I've tried is 3/16th so don't know from experience how much smaller will work well. I don't have the tool handy but the rollers are about 1.25 inch in diameter as I recall.

I haven't run anything smaller than 1/4" round steel, so I truthfully can't say what the smallest stock size might be. My instinct is that this tool might be a bit coarse for the work you're considering.

smallest I have used is about 22ga [x3/4" flat].issues might come with using stock wider than 2-3" or thicker than 4 or 6 ga .there are a lot of variables ie. width, diameter/thickness, material, etc. the unit is made of steel and [mine has] well-accepted the stress of heavier projects so 'lighter' ones should be no problem.

Almost any. COSTCO big rolls rub a little bit and eat the battery. But any will work. I buy bounty select a size and it puts out half sheets perfectly as you don't always need a huge piece. but to answer your questionI have not found one that would not fit.

I no longer have any Jumbo rollers - I use the Babyliss Pro Nana Titanium with 20 rollers of three different sizes. It's a good product. Perhaps the difference in price is reflective of the materials used.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

They are both approximately 2.5 inches long. The bigger roller is 1 inch diameter and the smaller one is .75 inch diameter. It sounds tiny, but they make a really nice curl!

it will handle all sizes up to the width of the roller. mine is buried in my attic somewhere so i can't measure it for you. but i found it so much easier than rolling by hand and the finished product actually looked like a rolled bandage. hope that helps.

I suppose you could use this for bending flat wire for jewelry but it's not really made for small intricate work. Say for example you want to make a small ring or circle; the smallest this item will do is approximately 3 inches. Also, the rollers are knurled so it will leave marks on your metal which would need sanding and polishing.

Sorry, I don't know. The box and the instructions doesn't say. It only calls them "small" and "large". I however didn't like this product. Regular hot rollers work much better.

I have the Salon Mate by Windmere which has 14 small rollers and 6 medium ones. Let me know if I can still help you.

The key is accuracy. Depending on the area of the table you can. The measurement area for the laser is about 2-3mm across. Your best bet for smaller mounted jewelry is to get it professionally appraised. The last thing you'd want is to get a false negative because the mounting threw off the reading. Again, it depends on the size of the table. I've used it on mounted rings, but they are larger carats

I have no idea how well this will work on a polymer stock being I put it in the original wood stock. For which one to use you will need to use the shorter one or grind down the longer one. Now I only say the shorter one because of how I mounted it in the original stock. The reason for the shorter one is to prevent blocking the groove where the cleaning rod comes through. The short one worked fine for my application.

Think you will need the slightly smaller one - it gives the same effect of rollers without having to wear them! And a little less rigid.

Rolling pin thickness rings are designed to fit rolling pins 2.25 to 2.50 inches. It will likely stretch to fit your slightly bigger diameter.

I think there are 3. Sizes if the Reel. The smallest model should be the right one for fishing crappies. .

I put in "metal jumbo roller clips" in a search, and here's one place I found something like what you want (has 3 sizes). http://www.amazon.com/Spilo-Professional-Electric-Roller-counts/dp/B001ALNG8G/ref=pd_sim_bt_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0S4W2H4M0H1Z2R5SSM7W. Several of the large only clips showed up on eBay sites, but you might even find some at a Sally Beauty or Walmart, etc. Good luck
