Abstract: A paper feed roller which can secure rigidity and precision and can cut the machining cost and material cost, as well as a fabrication method thereof are provided. A paper feed roller (10) comprises a hollow pipe member (11) forming a paper feed portion for feeding paper, and a pair of shaft members (12) fastened concentrically on to both end portions of the pipe member (11). The pipe member (11) comprises a hollow steel pipe (13), a synthetic resin coating layer (14) for covering an outer surface of the steel pipe (13), and a synthetic resin friction coating layer (18) containing hard particles (16) formed on an outer surface of the coating layer (14).
