Is anyone rolling plate?

Jason,

This is (oddly) the first time I've hear rolling mentioned here. I've had occasion, on a contract job, to roll my own backing rings for aluminum pipe welds on a few of the small manual machines the shop had, but I did not notice the brand, nor would I have enough experience to give you an opinion. I do know that shop employed a master of the art, as I watched him roll steel "tires" to a perfect end match, and he could roll conical transitions perfectly every time.

I was wondering who would be good for a larger size roll probably 3/8"x10' maybe even 1/2"x10'

Well JMT certainly does their share of marketing and they seem to have a pretty nice machine. At the specs your looking for, unless you find one from WW1 that needs all new bearings, plan on spending $25k up to $100k for the real fancy CNC ones. But most plate rollers will be quite comparable unless you are looking for a very specific set of features (ala CNC etc...)

Jason, if anyone here is doing that, at that level, they haven't been talking about it. We do have a few people who, if they see this post, may know someone they can refer you to for solid opinions.
