New to forum, looking for info on the gearing for a slip roller 36" wide

Hi, I am new to the site, I am in the first year of my welding and metal fabrication business. My name is Aaron, my business is Hunt Ironworks. I am in process of making and sheet metal slip/ring roller and was interested on info about how to set up the gearing on theses machines.or if there are any that have been created here.

Hello,
Welcome. The drive rolls are 1:1 ratio gear or sprocket and chain.

That is accurate for top and bottom roll, back one is an idler. I'd bet an exploded view, might reveal proportions of a hand-cranked slip roll is like 6:1, and 16" long handle. Or should be. I've rolled perforated & hemmed 16ga stainless strainers, material was about 12 x 12.
After a couple dozen, you're looking for the shop-boy. Git yer kiester ova he-a.
