I'm working on a project with my father and trying to find someone who can fabricate a set or a few sets of rolled rings. Looking for sets of rings with 33 and 36 inch outer diameters from 3/8 diameter steel bar. Anyone here do this sort of work?
 
:smokin: Thought about the Harbor Freight roller as well. Not sure I need my own just yet:dustin:
 
I've got a slip roll that'll do 3/8 round.

If you mean square stock, it'll probably do it, but it likely won't be nice and flat.

Where are you located?
 
Sure, but it might not help...

I've got a variety of powered ring rollers, in different diameters.
I suspect you do to.

Yes, Brownsburg - need the parts in Zion IL and am willing to pay to have the parts shipped.

Thanks for the leads so far. I'm not really interested in making/buying tooling for a one off project, mostly trying to help my dad source the parts. I've got enought unfinished projects here to keep me busy :homer:

this a joke? 3/8 round bar is stupid easy to roll. bend it around a tank thats close to the right diameter...

try rolling some 3/8" x 3 flat bar the hard way, then youll need proper equipment.

No joke, don't really have the time to mess with this at home. Hoping to catch a lead on someone/some place that can do this affordably. I've committed to making a few other parts of this project, so the plate is full for now.

Zion, IL. Been a long time since I've heard of that place. Helped a guy work on a unimog up there many years ago. His parents had a garage full of MB midgets if I recall correctly. No leads on the rings. There's a metal place here that does them, but doubt that would be much help to ya. Good luck.

How big is your final part? Can't just laser/plasma it out of plate?
