   Thinking about Jim's question about wheels for his saw mill, and my   
   simplistic replies for brute forcing a solution it made me think about   
   something I need to make at some point, and I was wondering.  Who has a   
   heavy duty ring roller?  How heavy of material can you roll with it.  I   
   am thinking basic low carbon hot rolled or cold rolled steel.  Probably   
   hot rolled.  I don't have anything heavy enough for the material I am   
   considering (and already have left over from other projects)   
      
   My alternative for my single application is to make some radius forming   
   dies for my hydraulic press.  Then I could hot or cold form as needed.   
   20 ton (my bigger press) might not be enough for cold forming.  I'd just   
   need to make two sets.  Maybe one if I got lucky.  One for testing   
   spring back, and one adjusted for that if necessary.  I could CNC them   
   out of some 4140 laying out back.
