Pipe roller/bender

[1967k10]

I need some info on a pipe roller {I think that's what it's called} One of those units that will roll a piece of pipe into a circle. Like up to 8'. I need to know what they cost and how precise they are. Have another business venture in mind and it requires one of these. Seems Pro-Tools has kinda what I'm looking for but since I know nothing about them I need some input.

Don't know much about them either but have considered building one.

Electric motor and gear reduction box. Some guide wheels and some tension adjustability. Basically work it back and forth till there is enough arc achieved.

Hurry up and buy one Kert and I'll come try it out . Could I bend a 8' circle or would I need to bend two 4' half circles?

Not a clue man!

That is for sheetmetal, i think he wants to bend round tubing into a donut that is 8 foot in diameter.

What I posted......

Is a tube roller, not for sheet......

Someone did post a slip roll.....Entirely different thing.....

Exactly. Need something to bend/roll pipe.

You should easily be able to roll an 8 foot circle in one piece in theory...except most ID pipe comes in 21 foot lengths and you'd need around 25 feet for an 8 foot circle. The two half circles welded together will prolly be best.

Van Sant has what you're looking for...

Making your own round bale feeder?

Possibly building some to sell. An outfit in your neck of the woods makes some using the leftover piece of a tire tank. I cut and sell tanks and need a good use for the waste part.
