Hi All,
I bet this has been debated before but I couldn’t find it on line so
what’s the opinion out there?
I’ve owned 2 Durstons. One was a bargain because someone put a nail
thrugh it and it had a goove, and the other was too small a 100mm and
the rollers had mill marks on them. I have now saved up for a 120-130
mm combo. I have seen a Cavallin locally for $750 and it seems to be
the set up I want. All things being equal it has 65mm diameter
rollers as compared to Durstons 60mm for the 120-130mm size-which is
a plus especially compared to the 50mm dia. on the 100mm mills. The
overall finish of the Durstons impresses me more as the Cavalin has
some plasitic but we’re talking dust sheild here so it’s not
important.
But have any of you with more experience put these mills through
there paces and have strong opinions one way or another? This is
basically a major purchase for me and I’d like to get it right
finally.
Feel free to contact me directly at
