4ft hydraulic plate roll

Has to be a good feeling when the tool works as expected. I was wondering where you went, as I didn't see any posts on this or other projects.

I knew going in that the speed was going to be faster than I wanted also by reducing it to another 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 it will multiply the amount of torque available.
Although had I a 2 grove large pulley it would have helped as well I cannot stall the hydraulic motor as it is right now the belt will slip.
I'm pretty sure that I could possibly roll full width 7 ga or 3/16" plate once I reconfigure the reduction system and possibly add an idler pulley or 2 to get more wrap on the small pulley but will probably go to a 6" diameter one to mate with the large one which will reduce my ratio then make up for it with another jack shaft to hit pair up to the motor.
Ultimately I would like to come up with a 4 or 5 to one epicyclical drive to mount directly on the motor and come off of that with the 6 inch pulley.
I have 6 more of those hydraulic motors and now that I know their capacities I may some day decide to build the mini dozer I designed years ago using 2 of them in each final drive unit and 2 of them for a PTO or I may make a wood chipper with a couple of them who knows they're not going anywhere stashed away in my storage.

I don't know how you have the time to do all the things you post. It took me two days to drill out the spot welds and remove the rocker panel step on the 57 chevy truck. It's going to take lots longer to remove all the rust and paint stuff before I can get the new panel installed. And I have to replace half the floor as well. I ordered a panel off eBay, and don't like the quality or how it fails to mimic the OEM pressed stiffening grooves, so now I need to find something better. And that panel will be mega more work.
I'm doing simple stuff compared to you making a slip roller for heavy gauge sheet. And I am fully retired from a prostitution job.
