1. A device for carrying out powdering printing sheets, with a supply container for the powder and a metering element that is connected in series with the supply container the metering element opening up into a mixing area where an air current ejects the powder, the metering element being driven in a cyclical fashion so that a timing of powder being introduced into the mixing area corresponds to the presence of a printing sheet, the metering element containing a rotationally symmetrical body with a horizontally arranged rotational axle, a step motor being provided as the drive for thy metering element, further comprising the metering element being cantilevered; and a cantilevered roller housing defining a bore, the metering element arranged in the bore. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the supply container rests on the roller housing. 3. The device of claim 1 wherein the roller housing further comprises: a plurality of openings in communication with the air current. 4. The device according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the metering element is provided with a device for removing the powder from the metering element. 5. The device according to claim 4, characterized by the fact that the device consists of one of a blade, a brush, and a blow nozzle. 6. The device according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the metering element has a powder-friendly surface. 7. The device of claim 1 further comprising: a collection funnel disposed under the metering element and the blade to receive powder lifted out of the at least one groove. 8. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one circumferential groove further comprises: a plurality of circumferential grooves disposed along a length of the metering element. 9. The device of claim 8 wherein the supply container includes an inlet opening for communicating powder to the metering element and the length of the metering element extends beyond the opening in at least one direction. 10. A device for carrying out powdering printing sheets, with a supply container for the powder and a metering element that is connected in series with the supply container the metering element opening up into a mixing area where an air current ejects the powder, the metering element being driven in a cyclical fashion so that a timing of powder being introduced into the mixing area corresponds to the presence of a printing sheet, the metering element containing a rotationally symmetrical body with a horizontally arranged rotational axle, a step motor being provided as the drive for the metering element, further comprising the metering element being cantilevered, the metering element being arranged in a corresponding bore of a roller housing, the roller housing containing an outlet opening that is offset relative to an inlet opening by more than 180° and less than 270° viewed in a rotating direction, and the roller housing being cantilevered and supporting supply container. 11. The device of claim 10 further comprising: a mixing channel in communication with the outlet opening and offset relative to the inlet opening by 180° viewed in the rotating direction. 12. The device of claim 10 wherein the metering element is selected from the group consisting of a cylinder, a cone and a ball.
