I'm sure many people would have seen the relatively cheap ring rollers from Poland on eBay and ummed and ahhed about one. I recently over ruled my concerns and bought the £330 heavy duty version, and I'm so glad I did.
I've only had it for a few days and it arrived half way through me making these small curvy gates which use 40 x 10 flat. (Vertical infill bars & scrolls to be forged yet). It rolled the 40 x 10 with ease and much quicker than I could forge the bends.
One of the main reasons for buying was that I wanted to be able to roll flat bar the "wrong" way. One set of dies has 6mm & 8mm grooves for rolling on edge. Here's a pic of experimenting with rolling 25 x 8 on edge.
It was really well packaged and the guy answered my message asking for a tracking number & courier name. It didn't come with instructions but only took a few mins to figure out. I've only played with it a few times but there's a variety of dies with a range of grooves in for rolling different sections.
