Kelsey Rollers, Trucks & Parts


From the cover of our dog-eared 1953 Kelsey catalog that got us started on the Letterpress adventure.

We stock a number of parts for Kelsey presses--Rollers, roller trucks, grippers, springs, chase irons, tympan paper, and other items unique to Kelsey presses.

RO58
All the Kelsey rollers we furnish are precision made using a professional grade of synthetic rubber called Buna-N that has a useful life of at least 5 years, and longer with proper care. This is the same material used on the larger letterpress machines. Kelsey used to furnish rollers made from an inexpensive urethane product that would eventually melt, often causing an incredible mess. All new 5x8 and 6x10 rollers from us have nibs on the cores to lock in the new style trucks we sell (like the C&P cores and trucks) so that the roller and truck turn together as one unit. Trucks from other suppliers that attach with a set screw are inherently lopsided and will contribute to uneven inking. Trucks for the 3x5 are $5.00 each, for 5x8 and 6x10 are $5.50 each.

Two 5x8 rollers with a set of 4 trucks totals $172.00. Add to your order with accurately cut new tympan, ink in either 5 oz. tubes or one pound cans, gauge pins and all your other needs with one-stop ordering.

TR58
These are turned from steel and have a milled slot on one side that engages the crimp on the roller core (steel shaft). Thus, the truck and roller turn together and this is a significant improvement over the original Kelsey design. Old trucks without the slot will not work with the rollers we supply as the trucks will not fit between the roller saddle arms.
