A sheet feeder comprises a roller (10) configured to rotate about an axis and an input drive 8 configured to deliver single sheets (21,22,23) to the roller (10) such that a leading edge of each sheet is substantially parallel to the axis. The roller (10) comprises a plurality of flexible fins (12) extending along the axis. As the roller (10) rotates, one of the sheets (21) can be lifted by the rotating fins (12) to pass over the roller (10), while the leading edge of a following sheet (22) is delivered to the roller in an underlapping relationship with the first sheet (21).

A laminator comprises first and second rollers (2,4) mounted in parallel for counter- rotation. One of the rollers (2) is supported on a pair of pneumatic cylinders (12), which can be operated to adjust the gap (6) between the rollers. When a desired gap (6) is reached for the thickness of workpiece to be laminated, locks (24,40,60 can be operated to prevent further movement of the first roller (2) towards the second roller (4). Preferably the locks do not prevent movement of the first roller (2) away from the second roller (4). After the locks (24,40,60) have been engaged to protect the workpiece against crushing, the pressure applied to the first roller (2) during the laminating process can be changed.
