How much 'grunt' do you need on the arms to get it to roll?

Here is a roll bender I just funished. It is for making curved rail
components for a new deck. The material in the machine is 3/4 x 1-1/2
x 14 ga rectangular tube. Works great.

It's really not too bad. I don't even fasten the machine to the table.
I make multiple passes, though, with maybe 1 turn of the top wheel
(1/8 inch advance) per pass. I was afraid the drive wheel might slip,
but it doesn't.
