Paper Rolling?

[shooter93]

I'm just curious...although i do paper patched bullets I've never used the cigarette rolling machines I've seen some guys here talk about. What kind of roller do you use and how do you use it? What about different size bullets...40...45...etc. or are the rollers adjustable? Thanks.

I just went and tried my roller.
.45 and larger will not fit as issued.
However, there is more than enough room to open up the grooves for the rollers to make it fit.
This is similar to the one I use.

I found mine in a convience store.
Like rolling on a board, the paper is wet, and then laid down in the direction of the roll. The casting is put on the paper leaving room for where the paper is on the ogive.
The roller is closed, and the vynl bib is rolled on the roller.
I had never rolled a patch before, and it took two papers to make a good one. From there it was slick! The compression squeegees the water from the paper. I lay them down soaking wet, close and roll.
They are tight, any wrinkle is rolled smooth.
I am not sure, but, maybe this one

For the above .30 cal castings.
It sure made rolling patches simple for me.
The .30s, and .311s fit real easily. I think .324 will fit easily also. Possibly .40cal. .452 will not fit easily, with a patch it won't come out with the patch.
A small grinding burr can open up the roller on both sides. Should work after that.

I just followed your link to see that roller. It looks like the top from my grandmother's washing machine.
Does it use AC...or batteries?

Fingers.
Don't even need to eat spinache! Real easy.
The bigger one is just as simple. I used to have one way back when. With the lever, it was real easy to roll a cigarette so tight it wouldn't work.
