So I guess your question is whether or not you can build your own power staightener with 5 wheels. I don't see why not, provided you have access to machine tools, machinist skills, time to build it, money for all the parts and stock, and can justify the amount of time it will take. Do you need help designing the drive system? Bear in mind, you will need either adjustable dies or interchangable dies. As someone else mentioned, much straightening can be done during texturing.
