Hey jet, sorry I had to work a bit there. Almost recovered from it. I followed a little bit of your post about the chisel sockets. Trying to figure what your game plan is here. Are you just making sockets? Not chisels with sockets? Are you planning to draw them?As in press a form into stock, until it deforms into a socket shape? I would consider rolling a blank around a tapered mandrell, and welding the seam. As to the size selection, I wish mine was bigger. You can do small work on a large unit, but not vice versa. Buy the most capacity you can afford.
