Armand Tatro Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 My name is Armand Tatro. Between my son and I we have welders, cutting torches, drillpresses. small (12 ton presses) and a kit-bilt cnc pattern cutter(3/8 plasma cutter or flame-cut so far to 1 1/2in. thick. I also have a kit-bilt power hammer with a wood frame. I also have a forge and anvil along with the usual shop tools. I would like to build a 4 or 5 ft. lomg metal roller. Has anybody done this or have any suggestions or ideas? Armand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkunkler Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I assume you mean a sheet metal roller. Here is a link to one .Sheet Metal Slip Roll Machine You may be able to scale it up to the size you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 More info please: do you want to reduce the thickness of hot steel by rolling or do you want to make circles and rings from hot or cold metal---both are called rollers though the first one is better called a rolling mill.
