Ring Roller

Here is my Mr Twister i made years ago when i was doing the ornament work. It will do 1/2" sq as well as 3/16"x1" flat. It is mounted on my second floor so i can do really long parts. I made the split die to do twists that have flat spaces in between the twists. You can with some creativity use a 1/2" drive socket for the dies...Bob

Bob,

Just wanted to be sure, but are you doing everything cold in your Mr.Twister?

Looks like a neat rig.

Thanks David. I just bought a 100 to one gear reducer and had the same machine in mind but no plan or other than Shop outfitters design in mind. Yours fits the bill but from what you said now "my gear reducer broke" I think I will further reduce with a chain drive instead of direct coupling. I sort of have a variable speed system in mind and as soon as I build the contraption I will post it for all of you to comment on.
