Is it possible use this for craft purpose, such as bending flatware into jewelry?

I use it with flat stock...you can check out some examples at Steel Your Idea on FB. It's my craft site. This was the best ring roller for the price! I use if for all my applications in my work to get a circle or rounded end. MIFF

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.

I would be skeptical of this use. With softer metals I think this tool would leave marks on the material. The wheels have an edge similar to the outside of a quarter, meaning lines perpendicular to the orientation of the material being fed through, this is to help grip the material to force it through. Sounds like you need more of a small sheet metal roller.

Yes you probably can; however, you may find the item is left with a 'knurled' texture from the rollers.That might be overcome by 'sandwiching' the item with Popcicle sticks or such.The roller is stout, all-metal construction and will handle the load.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

What a great idea! Yes, you could do that, and I'm going to as well! They are large and stiff so I think it will work best with a little padding under the paper you are stamping. I used them to make clay ornaments.

Yes, you can bend them, they are just like any other pipe cleaner except they are a little ruff so they can really clean out you pipe. Not the best for any craft project due to them having this extra function.

No, it won't work for that. It's for crafts. I use it. for hours and hours on its absolute hottest setting and still have trouble carving hollow craft foam.

Yes, I use this to make shamballa bracelets and that involves macrame. Hope this helps! :)

No, the stainless steel is a fairly heavy gauge and would require quite a bit of force to bend. Even the small funnel is quite strong.

If by "turn" you mean bend the thin metal, it is probably not a good idea. The thing is "as is" when it arrives, one piece, and that doesn't necessarily mean perfectly constructed or level.

Lisa... I have never used it to work on jewelry. It is a heavy rugged tool and to be honest with you, as far as using it for precision work like jewelry, I don't think that this is what you want. Shop for a Soldering Iron instead of a Soldering Gun. Hope this helps... Rico

It is flexible. I do not roll mine. I fold it in half and lay it flat in a drawer. I think you would be able to roll it though depending on how much jewelry is in there. Hope that helps.

i just bought mine for crafting, but i think if you weaved it in & out and close together cause its thin but somewhat strong , i guess it probably could work..

I have no experience attempting to bend it, but I imagine that you could bend it. It wouldn't be easy to bend and it would be even less easy to unbend.

Yes you can if it's on the right angle. It fits all of my jewelry! I would change some things about it but it's functional

I use it for jewelry. I dont imagine it will hold alot of weight and function correctly

No, this is a heavy duty piece of PVC. You may be able to apply heat and bend it, but I never tried that myself.

Not sure. I wouldn't try it. I would recomend buying a longer mat. You can cut the mesh and or pull the heating wire from the mesh to make the bends you need.

Sorry, I won't attempt to answer this as I have not yet had the challenge to work with anything irregular......But optimistic as I am, I guess you can, depending on the size of the piece you are working with....
