Ring Roller

Welderpaul · Mar 17, 2007

This is my section roller i made - it's made from 300 x 15 flat with 85mm dia bdms rolls. It was knocked up pretty quickly for a job, but has seen some real use. Biggest problem is lifting it onto the bench - it weights 40kg plus! Will post some pics of rolled section soon.

nice

i like that paul,if you ever fancy nocking up some more id buy one from you

what thickness of flat have you run through it?
could you not fit it to a stand or would it take up to much room.

Welderpaul · Mar 18, 2007

I have rolled 60 x 12 flat easily in it, no doubt it will roll bigger. the pictures show 30 x 6 i think which it will roll in a couple of passes.
Stand would be great but space is my problem at the moment!

That looks the business m8, I would buy one as well if you ever started selling them.

Thinking about taking the pictures over to the local collage to see if they will knock me one up. They'll be alot cheaper than a pro ;-)

Again thanks for all you help.

Baz.

Im looking everywhere for a roller (under £100?)
Cant seem to find much though. Anyone got some suggestions where to look? preferably 3-5mm thick flat bar if possible, so I can start working on a Wrought Iron project.

Wonder what that would do to the J head bearings if it was scaled up, mind you theyre designed to take heavy side loads...

I got lost for an hour on that guys site - amazing work!!

aametalmaster · May 18, 2008

Nice job. I have built a few of them. They all work about the same just different sizes of parts...Bob

johnakay · Mar 7, 2009

any ideas how I could get this slight bend or curve.
I was thinking of a small ring roller but can't get any for tubing. john

wyn · Mar 7, 2009

If it's a one off and don't want to spend loads. you might be able to cut a template out of something like MDF and bend it around that.

johnakay · Mar 7, 2009

if all goes well I will be making loads.
also theres another couple of grab rails which are similar but smaller in width.

Welderpaul · Mar 7, 2009

Oh, I have a ring roller for sale on ebay at the moment - bit big for what you might want tho....

Hitch · Mar 7, 2009

Thats fairly small tube by the looks of it John, a electricians type conduit bender would do that i expect...

It's a Tauring - still in good condition, just need something a bit bigger!
Comes with lots of dies - someones going to get a bargain!

Here it is - only it looks a lot tidier now!

sorry to drag this thread up but how do you get from the right hand picture to the left hand one?

chap · Feb 3, 2010

By winding it back and forth and gradually bringing the centre wheel down.
