Just got this from Athan Corp - Athan Corporation - Pinch Rollers

It's made from polyurethane instead of rubber, and it's supposed to last forever.
My rubber pinch roller was still in great shape, I just figured it would be good to have a spare, and I've checked out the Athan stuff a few times in the past, and everyone always praised their rollers on the internet...so I went with it.
Not cheap....but it's top notch quality and very well made. Heavier than the original, I think it's brass or some very hard metal alloy instead of aluminum. It certainly looks and feels way over-built...so this should last. Also comes with two new bearings and the fit on the shaft is perfect, just like the original.

Yup...the ONLY outfit making pinch rollers for the 3M M-56 and M-79 2" iso-loop machines which are not your standard-fare rollers...only wish they made them for the 1/4" and 1/2" machines.

Looks nice, miro...
