    need help in finding the right machine for the job

    Thanks again for the help everyone! Buying the steel in 10" rolls would be ideal and I have a buddy who has a "very old" Buffalo angle roller I could buy for 10k I'm just not 100% sure on how to extend the rolls? Or if I did would the ring and flange hold its shape? In my profile under...

How I'm doing it now is rolling the 8"piece in a small slip roller to my 30" then cutting the 2" lip (ring) out of a full sheet of 11ga.
