I have seen them about a bit. I think Chester machine tools and Warco do them in various sizes.

Chester

Warco

I was looking at getting one once but they looked a bit limited in the thickness of material you can use one for. Or maybe i was expecting too much.

I think Northern tool do them also

Ha! We had one of those in the metalwork department at school - i remember it would only do a maximum of 1mm steel, and a bit thicker in ally. It was a good tool.
I tried 2mm in it - not a chance, even with the class fatty pulling on it, all it did was pull the screws out of the bench.

A mate has the 12" (abouts) version, it will roll 2mm Ali but it's a long job. Not usre what it will cut
