Hey friends new here and my first build is gonna be a 4 foot wide set of plate rollers with a ring roller on the outside of the rolls to roll flatbar edge ways! I am a welder by trade! I have just recently started messing with the lathe and milling machine! I am trying to get into wrou iron hand rails and custom grills!

Hi Eddieb378 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you're having some fun. Have you decided on the design for the rollers?

Yes sir it's basically gonna combine a ring roller and a slip roller! I want to be able to roll 4 foot wide plate 1/8 or longer and be able to roll 2x2x1/2 flat bar on the edge! I just need to figure out if this can be done by a hand wheel or am I gonna need a motor and gearbox to drive it and if I do what size!
