Tough specs. For the 1 by 1 tubing, I think I would build a Hossfeld
type bender. I bought some 1/4 by 2 bar stock from Navy City Metals
and made a bender. I don't have it on a stand, just clamp it my bench
vise. Not as convenient when using it, but out of the way most of the
time.

Could you use a press break for most of your bending. I was thinking
of using some channel on a hydraulic press with the flanges up and
attaching a good sized pipe horizontal to the ram to make some gentle
curves is some sheets. Would not work if you are wanting to make big
tubes.

Hey everyone,

Again I find myself in need of a slip roller and am frustrated at the
prospect of spending MORE money and much more time delivering my
materials to a fab shop and picking it up a few days later...

I Need to own my own here.

Here are my MINIMUM requirments (MORE than this is betterl):
-- 3 feet wide
-- ability to roll 1/8" stainless
-- I'd LIKE it to open to 1" so I can put curves into 1 x 1
square tube.
-- Powered (electric or hydraulic) as opposed to hand cranking
(obviously)
