Bit of an odd project, i'm hoping you guys may be able help out with. A have several brass drop roller dies that were my grandfathers. I had the thought that it may be cool to find a press frame and put them to use. That was until I saw that these things are incredibly rare, and the ones that do sell are also very expensive. Which leads me to my next thought, it can't be THAT hard to build something, can it?
This is what the whole thing looks like.
These are a set of rollers I have.
It seems pretty simple at first look. Fairly similar to something like a slip roller. Through my research i've found that there are brass spacers that the rollers sit on, but I figured a guy could use delrin or something like that. I'm really terrible at figuring stuff like this out in my head. But I do have a good set of tools to help build it.
Thoughts?
