Making a Metal Roller Bender (Ring Rolling Machine)

A few weeks ago I had to ring roll some stainless steel while making a weighing frame. However I didn't have a ring roller so just 'got by' with what I had to hand. I have been asked to make some more of the weighing frames so thought I'd have a go at making a metal ring roller. The ring roller is designed primarily for rolling flat stock up to 100mm / 4" wide.

That is the best design I've seen for a DIY roller yet. Nice execution too.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thank you very much!

[@keithcallcut1540]

What a great tool to have in any workshop. I am now making one for my shop. Very useful.

[@ytadmin]

Genius move in making the roller supports.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks.

[@desmondcharles3145]

For the first time IAM able to hear what someone is fabricating great work

[@garyyorke1080]

Nicely made . Very clear and concise narration makes a great change being told what is going on rather than some heinously bad over dubbed music . Hopefully by now it's been used and proves a great tool . As you say a couple of shims possibly and it's a job well done . Thanks I enjoyed watching .

[@retakrew]

Best design I have found on youtube so far

[@ioannismargonis2682]

Thank you MI my respect From GREECE

[@joell439]

👍😎👍 another first class solution to improve the shop. Nice results

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thank you and thanks for the continued support.

[@Dave.Wilson]

That came out brilliently, it'll no dought come in very handy in the type of work that you do. look's almost commecial the way it came out.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks very much. It's done a couple of jobs so far and seems to be be working fairly well. Need to make some more dies for it now.

[@titofernandezmeirino9832]

I have made, once again, a superb work. The quality of the film is impressive. Happy New Year to you and stay safe. Best regards from Geneva.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy new year to you also. 👍👍

[@Wasper216]

Built like a tank. Nice 👍

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks 👍

[@teropiispala2576]

I'm making a pipe roller and was considering to use hydraulic jack. I gave up the idea because I thought they are leaking and making inconsistent radius. Yours seem to work ok, so now I'm reconsidering.

[@yimemontesarboleda3213]

QUE TRABAJO TAN HERMOSO. ERES UN BUEN GENIO DE LA CREATIVIDAD.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Another Great video. Well done

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks again! Glad you are enjoying them.

[@jackedwards1306]

Brilliant video as always

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks again! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@andybtec]

Another machine to make when I finally move and get my workshop built. Just got the 250 amp rtec mig and it seems good, hopefully it will be as good as the tig welder I already have

[@Handmadeextreme]

Good luck with the move. We are in the process at the moment. There is a bigger workshop in the pipeline as well so hope to do some of the bigger projects I've always wanted to do. The MIG seems to be going well. I too also have one of their TIG machines. Bought it over 10 years ago and it's still going strong. That's why I approached them to get the MIG.

[@freeidaho-videos]

I like the design. Nice and simple.

[@DanKoning777]

Turned out great; including the welds ;) *Well done.* Keep the videos coming!

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it. Should be moving to a bigger workshop soon so hope to get some bigger projects on the go soon.

[@macndea]

Excellent design thanks

[@joshuagosling3341]

What a bender!! Great work as always Rob! Look forward to the next video.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Cheers Josh, glad you enjoyed it.

My notification feed: plants, plants, bats, plants, chickens, plants, food, plants, more plants, metal ring rolling machine.... 😂🤩

[@Handmadeextreme]

Haha, glad you are diversifying. We are in the process of moving to a farm so I expect my feed will also soon be full of chickens and other farm related stuff as I try and learn about it.

[@pixiesnow7636]

@@Handmadeextreme How fantastic!!! Once you bond with land and nature, you'll never look back. All the best wishes in your new life. 🤗✨

[@kobersomos5954]

Ótimo vídeo bem explicado vou fazer uma e usar seu vídeo como modelo

[@worldtreehouses2692]

Nice design! thanks for sharing.

[@AndyCPugh]

Nice work Rob!

[@Handmadeextreme]

Cheers Andy. Hope you are well.

[@frederickastilla1018]

Genius work! I love it.

[@darkorkodi3582]

Did you get round to making the dies, would like to see how they are done

[@susanvaughn741]

The pillow block are actually being used backwards to their design. You need caps to reinforce the tops as you have made it.

[@SaltCityFab]

Very nicely done Mate! I wanna see your video of you making dies for this machine!

[@chrisquinn3751]

Hi, when I first saw your bender before actually watching the build, I thought "wow, that's really flexible but maybe a bit of overkill". Now having looked at the performance as built, I think it a brilliant design. To further add to the functionality ( and with the power you have available from the jack! ) I'm tempted to build one with an interchangeable press-brake top that mounts on the same fixings as the top roller

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Nice build 👍

[@qcnck2776]

Really nice MIG welding there. Thanks again for the detailed walk-through.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Cheers, It's been a few years since I wielded a MIG. Really enjoying the new machine.

[@gabrielbauer8725]

I did not know I followed this channel until the video poped up in my Subscriber section. Seems to be a cool channel :) Greetings from Germany

[@Handmadeextreme]

Welcome to the channel. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

[@machineshopatthebottomofth3213]

Great work as always. I have just picked up a fly press and making tooling for it. Really useful bit of kit. I may have to add this roller to the list of projects!

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your tooling! I need to make a load for mine as well.

[@legiminkjt5797]

Multi bending its the best , saya dari medan indonesia.

Excelência no projeto excelência na execução enfim parabéns 👏 em toda execução um grande abraço

[@spannerandcode4298]

Got to love a machine that can help make parts for itself 👍 Are these feeling lucky trousers going to be available as merch? 😉

[@Handmadeextreme]

What an absolutely revolutionary idea... Everyone will want a pair for their Saturday night exploits...

Ok I need the poor man version of this coz I want it 😂😂😂

[@HERREROFEROZ]

That's some heavy gear!!!

the knurling marks the workpiece..?

Nice one! 👍

[@ninjaman1255]

If you can see this awesome job bro and really good explanations ..... if you have spare time do a video on homemade scroll benders I've tired it 1 time for other video but it didn't come out as expected

[@beatyb21]

very nice.build sir

[@calebaskie4415]

PAR-EXCELLENT

[@markmiller4974]

You mentioned a special die that you wanted fir rolling tubing. What did they look like? Think I know, but would like to know fir sure.

[@mealex303]

epic job☺👍

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thank you.

[@markred4112]

I would have mounted a hinge, with cylindrical lock, at the closure, to avoid every time where to disassemble the main roller, to remove the finished work. It may be a good idea :)

[@iainb7130]

Great Ingenuity and problem solving! How did you find the 180A MIG welder? I have looked at buying one of those from R-Tech to replace my old Mighty MIG.

[@Handmadeextreme]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Seems to be working well so far. I've used it for this project and welding the bottom of my van back together after it failed it's MOT test.

[@hipairbrush1053]

What is the closest together your outer roller come? In other words how far apart are the outer rollers?

[@crisislord00]

Awesome!!

[@herbertlewis4912]

Nice brother

[@btdrawingchannel753]

So nice

[@poppasmurf63]

Nice project. I'm a bit confused at the logic behind using multi thousand dollar machienery to build a $300 shop tool. Seems if you can afford lathes and mills you could just buy a roller. No?

[@andymarcelin9578]

Well made...amazing detail.

[@oldowl4290]

I assume the 50mm x 50mm x 3mm posts 2" x 2" x .120 wall? I need to roll some 1 x 3 at 14 gauge (~1.5mm wall) for a project would your machine easily do this? If so, could I possibly get you to make the machined parts for me (at some cost obviously) while I fabricate and weld all the other parts? I'd greatly appreciate the help. I have a nice mig/tig machine and have those same bearings on hand. What I don't have however is a lathe and mill. I do actually have an old Logan lathe but I need to restore it and I know nothing about lathing. I can also have some of the parts waterjetted if that would speed up the process (such as the roller cradle).

What is the size of the pipe

[@hipairbrush1053]

How much upward travel do you have from the top of the bottle jack and the highest point?

[@danielwilson5102]

Way Out West Blow in blog is currently trying to make his own too. Hopefully he sees this.

[@daspicsman]

What steel did you use for the main? The piece that got knurled.

[@heathbourdon9016]

Heath Bourdon 1 second ago Hi can you supply a parts and cut list for your ring roller as I want to make one for my shed

[@markpryor1679]

Another great video, keep them up! Whilst writing, could you tell me the Scheider protector model number shown in your rotary converter video, I think it is GV2ME06, but not in focus enough to see. Thanks again!

[@2trucks_having_sex]

I noticed some small creasing on your square tube. I believe you will would want a small convex lump on the center of you die. That will push in the inner diameter of the part and fix that issue

[@tomassebastianmaquinaada7952]

Hello. How can I get this ruling machine?

Hello Paul, I just came across this video and was reading comments. Did you ever get a sketch with dimension for the roller? If so would you share them? Thanks Ed.
