The pipe was about 5mm thick and the inner diameter needs to be smaller than the diameter of your wooden rollers so that they can be lathed and then the metal tube is pressed on tightly. The outside of the tube is then lathed. We were lucky enough to have a neighbour who was a toolmaker who did this part for us. Good luck! Hope it works out for you too.tonihartillarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494560145626069180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729390740255994369.post-18714689558367543482016-06-06T09:33:33.645+12:002016-06-06T09:33:33.645+12:00Hi Toni,

I am a papermaker and am currently renovating the same mangle to press paper and just wanted to know what material you used for the roller tubes and what was the outside diameter? Thanks so much for your anticipated help.
