Has anyone built a hydraulic roller to roll flat metal? Need to bend up to 1/2" x 12" flat. Seldom a tighter radius than 10'. However the closer the rollers the less waste from the flat end. Used one at a previous shop that was custom built. Looking for ideas. The one i am using is shop built many decades ago and is very tired and worn. I think i can use the hydraulic drive and sprockets, etc but need to rebuild a frame and probably new rollers as the old ones are only 9" tall.
Main question would be what to use for rollers and bearings.
Or are there machines for sale that do this? Essentially a narrow plate roller but needs to be vertical as we are rolling 20' sticks.
Thanks
