To produce lead sheet pure lead products first melts 99.9% pure lead into blocks 48 x 48 x 4 Inch slabs. These slabs of just cast lead is then run through a high-pressure rolling mill. The rolling mill presses a very smooth tempered steel roller back and forth over-the lead block. Each pass of the roller which is pressing the lead over a hardened steel plate is slightly lower. This slow consistent pressure will shape the lead block into very consistent thickness lead plate or if a desired thickness of lead sheet.
