Abstract
The rolling mill comprises a plurality of working rolls and supporting rolls or a plurality of working rolls, intermediate rolls and supporting rolls. The intermediate rolls with their mounts and the slender working rolls ussed with them in six-high operation are exchangeable with or replaceable by larger thicker working rolls for two-high operation. No contact can occur between the body of a working roll and the body of the adjacent supporting roll during use as a two-high mill. In two-high operation the mount of a working roll is provided with a spacer piece engaging against the mounting member of the adjacent supporting roll. The mounts of the thicker working rolls used in two-high operation can be fitted into the guide pieces which act as guides for the mounting pieces of the intermediate rolls when the rolling mill is used as a six-high mill.
