I bought one of these before I saw your review. Good review and I learned a few things I wish I had known before. One issue I had with mine was the Tension knob split after I had formed a few rings in 3/16 steel rod and I could no longer turn it. To fix it I welded an old 3/8" drive 12MM socket to the end of the shaft and use a 3/8 ratchet to turn it. Having the ratchet also made it easier to count turns 1/4 or 1/2 turn at a time, depending where it was pointing.
there a simple way to get rid of the flats at the end of the bended stock: before bending, you cut the material at the exact lenght ,you bend to have the ends touching then you weld it and grind the bead flush. you reinstall the pseudo ring on the roller and you roll it a few turns the result is a ring that is round within 10 thou.
Well now I know what it is for and how to operate it. Why I bought it and when is a mystery! But the very clear explanation took out all the mystery. Thanks Fred Meyer
Hey Joe, thanks for the video. Is it necessary to take the metal out of the machine each time? Looks like you could just adjust to "increase the radius" and turn the handle backwards.
I do this for a living the formula is diameter x thickness x 3.1416 will give the actual length of material needed to roll what ever diameter ring you want
Sneaking up on the diameter with lots of steps works OK if your material does not work harden. I have rolled some stainless steel that if I used such small increments would have stopped bending on the third or fourth pass. In other words some material will only give you about three passes. Make them count.
@@PsychoPixy222 that is not always an option. Certain stainless steels that are both non-magnetic and have a minimum tensile strength in excess of 140 ksi, depend on work hardening to achieve the strength. This stuff is very difficult. Very specific steps must be taken to arrive at final dimensions. Bottom line, however, is to know the properties of one’s material, and proceed with operations that can safely manufacture the part, and keep the properties necessary. Of course with some materials the properties can be imparted by post processes. Others depend to a very high degree on what the processes do to the material. If anyone is interested, an excellent work on the various manufacturing processes and their effect on material properties is, MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, by Serope Kalpakjian.

+WTPFirearms Thanks, You could try, but I would worry about the strength of the frame and adjustment mechanism, you might crack those with the additional force, Everything is pretty thin. I would try extending the rollers first, you might be able to roll 2" by 1/8" .
Did you notice knurl indentions on the metal? It left a pattern on mine. I'm thinking less tension on the rollers may prevent this. Otherwise, I may grind off the roller knurls.
+Phil Laudenslager, Yes when I roll flat bar I do not get the pattern transferred to the steel. But when I roll 1/4" rod it tears up the rod quite a bit. If you grind off the area around the grooves that may fix the problem. I would be worried that if you ground off the entire knurl the flat bar might slip. If you look at a slip roller that has rod grooves there is no knurling. So that may work. I may remove the rollers and turn down a section and try it out. Thanks for the suggestion Joe
That thought had crossed my mind too! For now I wrapped the rollers in several layers of electrical tape. We'll see how this does, before I take a grinder to the wheels. Thanks!
Hey man I'm building ice climbing axes for my daughter I'd like to put a curve in the handles. Wondering how you think this device would work on 5/8 inch diameter hollow steel tube?
The ring roller only works with flat bar. Here is a link, Fill your pipe with sand and use the pipe bender, TH-cam has some videos on how to bend pipe without kinking. www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-hydraulic-pipe-bender-32888.html?_br_psugg_q=pipe+bender
Thank you sir! I just bought the same model and would like for it to roll 3/8" round material and as we all know it won't....bummer....so my question is....do they sell different size dies ?
Thanks. Are you a school teacher? LOL, sorry man....you're funny, so serious. But I learned a lot about it so.....good job. I gotta make a bunch and have the roller. I wish it did tubing......
Hi Kent, not a school teacher, yeah I tend to go on a bit. I will try to loosen up a bit. For larger tubing check out the Harbor Freight Tubing roller, Swag off road sells roller dies and upgrade kit for this tubing roller.
NO NO NO, you're great!!!! Honest.. Better than me. Just had to give you some ribbing. Ah, thanks for the tip. Yes, I've seen HF's tubing bender, but only looking to roll mayyyyybe between 1/2 and 1" in O.D., tubing or round bar stock......... Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your interesting and informative video. I noticed a potential safety hazard re the pillar pedastel sharp corners and solid base. If you or a person tripped and banged their head or face on it, it cannot fall over because it is bolted fast to the ground and the injury could be serious. Would a round topped or rounded/protected corner be a solution. Just a thought. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
Hello,. Will that ring roller handle 1/2 inch. Aluminum tube to make a hoop for a paramotor,. A Paramotor is that engine you put on your back to fly with a glider. Thank you
Here are the specs: Metal sizes up to 3/16 in. x 1 in. and up to 1/4 in. round Create rings from 3 in. diameter to as large as you need All surfaces are heat-treated and hardened for long life Create chandeliers, plant holders, ornamental iron work and more
Hi chuyetax, no, not really, it takes special dies to bend angle or "u" channel. You would need a higher end bender to do so. Harbor Freight documentation indicates the following: "Metal sizes up to 3/16 in. x 1 in. and up to 1/4 in. round"
i bought one of these. i was disapointed to find that the part that supports the idler roller shaft is plastic. it broke almost imediately. i fabricated a new piece from scrap pipe.
I have a question. I was looking at the ring roller that you have. I have to turn a 50' coil of 1/2" (od) stainless tubing with a wall thickness of .28mm. It is currently 20" in diameter and I need to turn it down to 12" diameter. Will that roller fit 1/2" tubing. I saw the description says 1/4" rod but didn't know if the gate would open up enough to do it.
Hi Brian, No the ring roller will only roll solid rod or flat steel bar up to 1/8" thickness, But Harbor Freight does have a tubing roller. Check out swag off road they have different size dies that you will more than likely need for the smaller tubing. The dies that come with the Harbor Freight will only go down to 3/4" diameter.
Hey good video I'm just wondering it looks like you're turning the handle clockwise. If I do that on my ring roller which is the same as yours it backs the material out.
Hi Sylvia, You can roll up to 1/4" round stock and the minimum diameter is three inches. If you want to make smaller bracelets, you might want to look for a roller that is used for jewelry. Thanks Joe
David, I never had any problems, but some of my viewers indicated that they had issues. But I always roll within the specs of what HF indicate. Thanks for the question
amigo está muy buena tu máquina ,pero quiero que me saques de una duda por que tienes la manivela o palanca muy larga ,si lo Arias un poco más pequeña podrías tender más comodidad de manejo.por lo demás no veo muy bien que es compacta y hace el trabajo perfecto saludos hermano desde Chile.
If you are going to use this a fair bit do yourself a favor and roll yourself a large steering wheel/wagon wheel style crank for it...whether a ring roller or a bead roller it makes a huge difference in ease of use!...ideal is bigger tubing then this machine can handle but even a small rod one will help...single handle cranks are great if ya need a lot of leverage but constant use plays merry hell on your back once they get longer then a foot or so..
I did a couple mods to mine that helped. The knurles next to the grooves marked up 1/4" round stock, so I ground those out a little with a rat tail file. I also decreased the backlash on the rollers using washers to space. This helps stop the twisting dogwalk that tends to happen. People that complain about breaking the plastic part must really abuse this thing. This tool isn't about making a very quick radius, like a die, but making an accurate controlled radius. Once set, it will repeat fairly well, but doesn't replace a press brake.
Well I played with it to the point were I decided that the best way was to make a ring sized half way between a 360 degree arch of the spiral and make that ring fit into the CNC machined form I am using for the backing plate. I had to make 8 rings progressively larger and fit it together and boom, it worked like a charm. I have not seen a machine for making spirals. If I ever take on another project like that I will look into it. The way I did this project the little bender from Harbor Freight worked fine. One thing I would like to see on it is a flange to prevent it walking off the end of the rollers. I had to make this spiral out of 5052 and for some reason it had a tendency to walk out. The material was 1" x 0.125". But if I did not hold it in the roller in 3 or 4 cranks it would walk most of the way out. Other than that is worked just fine for what it is.
Sweet, that is pretty much what a scroll fixture does, has a series of slight larger shapes that, as the metal forms around the smaller shape, then larger shape comes into place. Check out this youtubee video: th-cam.com/video/dZQAV8yRQkM/w-d-xo.html
You can roll up to 1/4" round stock, but because of the ridges on the rebar, that may interfere with the rollers, I have rolled 1/4" round stock just fine.
Sorry Mic, I have since learned that, also I should have filmed from the other side. I think I will have to do a follow-up on this video, it has been a while
A few things a person needs to do before rolling a piece of flat bar. 1) Figure out the mean diameter which is the neutral bend of the bar stock This is for figuring the true length of the bar to be rolled in a ring. 2) Layout the true length on the flat bar adding an inch or two for the flat part of the bar being rolled. 3) Use the layout lines to cut the ring to size. This will insure the ring will be rolled to a tight tolerance without a lot of waste.
LOL, more than likely I meant decrease the radius, or decrease the diameter. but you can increase or decrease the radius, but the affect will be the diameter, Anal enough for you.
With the adjustable wheel supported by a PLASTIC component this "tool" is not worth much unless you have a milling machine to make a replacement out of steel.

Thanks Mihal
Thanks for the info as I’m looking at buying one but I questioned it’s workable function.
Good Video. Great instructions. Thanks.
Thanks Phillip
It would be helpful to show how the metal is placed in the ring roller.
Wow that works good.... i cut out wood rings and pre bend by hand that thinner metal and then roll it to size
Yes good tool for $70.00. Your method works good as well.
Great review joe, Far better than my attempt...i bought a rebadged version of the roller and i dont understand the difficulty people have with them.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I also found it pretty easy to use.
Thank you Sir , well explained nice video
Thanks Luis, yes nice tool
Hey Joe, thanks for the video. Is it necessary to take the metal out of the machine each time? Looks like you could just adjust to "increase the radius" and turn the handle backwards.
Thanks Ron, yes you could do that, but do not try to adjust to final adjustment for each new piece. Roll will be uneven.
Alternating the ends you feed from help even out the roll and help eliminate flat spots
Thanks for the tip.
Thanks. I just looked at one today at Harbor Freight and wondered how it works. Seems to do a nice job.
Thanks, for the price it works good
I do this for a living the formula is diameter x thickness x 3.1416 will give the actual length of material needed to roll what ever diameter ring you want
Thank you.
good show!
Thanks
Nice demo !!
Thanks roger
I may buy one of those just to have something to play with. That works cool . 😅😄😃🤣😂😆
Yes, just do not try to roll ant material thicker than 1/8" or you will damage the rollers
Sneaking up on the diameter with lots of steps works OK if your material does not work harden. I have rolled some stainless steel that if I used such small increments would have stopped bending on the third or fourth pass. In other words some material will only give you about three passes. Make them count.
If it work hardens just heat up with torch and it's soft again.

Best vid I've seen on that machine . Whats the largest you can roll ? Say 48" diameter ........orrrrrr?
Thanks Douglas, Minimum diameter is 3". As large as you want on the max diameter. Thanks for the response
I got one of these, I tried bending 14 gauge aluminum x 1 in. It would bend the roller down some and then not track straight .
Hi rbhusana, The ring roller is really meant for steel only, 6061-T5 is bendable but 6061-T6 is not and is brittle and will crack.
Well, Thank you so much for the answer!
If you extended the dies out, do you think it could handle 1/4 x 2 or something bigger? Great review BTW
+WTPFirearms Thanks, You could try, but I would worry about the strength of the frame and adjustment mechanism, you might crack those with the additional force, Everything is pretty thin. I would try extending the rollers first, you might be able to roll 2" by 1/8" .
They sell another roller that handles wider and thicker stock. It’s bigger and costlier!
The radius is DECREASING, the curvature is increasing!
Ya. What James Cassidy said.
I like to feed it on the opposing end with every run.
Thanks!!!
Did you notice knurl indentions on the metal? It left a pattern on mine. I'm thinking less tension on the rollers may prevent this. Otherwise, I may grind off the roller knurls.

Sure Joe. Yeah, I had an intermittant corkscrew problem that tightening things up seemed to fix. I don't roll very much bar stock, mostly 1/4" round.
Can you also roll square tubing?
No, only flat bar
Any idea how small of a ring it will make?
Would it go down to finger ?
why would you place the camera so that you see your back instead of what the roller is doing?
make your own video
Could you use this to bend spoons?
It is setup for steel rod up to 1/4" or steel flat bar 3/16 in. x 1 in
Now I know what this is for & how to use it. I got a BAD habit of going into Harbor Freight stoned out of my mind to just buy shit. Thanks.....
LOL, yes not bad for the price, just to over stress it, by using larger than 1/8".
Would it roll 3/16" X 1 1/2" flat hot roll?
Flat bar max size is Metal sizes up to 3/16 in. x 1 in. and up to 1/4 in. round
how much did you pay for this
does this work for hollow tubing as well?
Hi Thanks for the question, no only solid stock.
@@JoediyLab good to know, thanks for the quick reply!
@@ikkeennigij121 Thanks for the good question.
Will it bend round stock?
Yes up to 1/4" solid round stock
have you ever done a progressive spiral? That is my new project.
hi Michael, you would have to keep on tightening the tension as you rolled, I have tried it, that would be an interesting experiment
sorry, have not tried it. might be hard as the turns get tighter. I have benders that do scrolls, you might have to go that route
Well I played with it to the point were I decided that the best way was to make a ring sized half way between a 360 degree arch of the spiral and make that ring fit into the CNC machined form I am using for the backing plate. I had to make 8 rings progressively larger and fit it together and boom, it worked like a charm.
I have not seen a machine for making spirals. If I ever take on another project like that I will look into it. The way I did this project the little bender from Harbor Freight worked fine.
One thing I would like to see on it is a flange to prevent it walking off the end of the rollers. I had to make this spiral out of 5052 and for some reason it had a tendency to walk out. The material was 1" x 0.125". But if I did not hold it in the roller in 3 or 4 cranks it would walk most of the way out.
Other than that is worked just fine for what it is.
Sweet, that is pretty much what a scroll fixture does, has a series of slight larger shapes that, as the metal forms around the smaller shape, then larger shape comes into place. Check out this youtubee video: th-cam.com/video/dZQAV8yRQkM/w-d-xo.html
How wide can your metal be?
Hi Marsha, Metal sizes up to 3/16 in. x 1 in. and up to 1/4 in. round
How do I measure the flat bar to get any specific ring size? I don’t know ho to do PI
Jesus, here is an online calculator, chose the diameter of the circle and the circumference is your answer www.omnicalculator.com/math/circumference
You also need to consider the stretch of the metal.
Great tip, thanks
First ring i would roll would be to make a wheel for that thing
Good Idea, Thanks for your feedback
What about round tubing
Sorry, only solid bar and small round stock. You need a tubing or pipe bender for that.
Can you use this to make 48” rebar circle?
You can roll up to 1/4" round stock, but because of the ridges on the rebar, that may interfere with the rollers, I have rolled 1/4" round stock just fine.
Him: « I’m going to reposition the camera to give you a better view of the ring »
... or not.
Him: I have already apologized for this years ago. You will just have to accept that.
Joe's Fab Lab 🙂No hard feelings. I wouldn’t have commented if I didn’t want to help the video
you make a better door then a window
Sorry Mic, I have since learned that, also I should have filmed from the other side. I think I will have to do a follow-up on this video, it has been a while
A few things a person needs to do before rolling a piece of flat bar.
1) Figure out the mean diameter which is the neutral bend of the bar stock
This is for figuring the true length of the bar to be rolled in a ring.
2) Layout the true length on the flat bar adding an inch or two for the flat part
of the bar being rolled.
3) Use the layout lines to cut the ring to size.
This will insure the ring will be rolled to a tight tolerance without a lot of waste.
Great Points, Thanks Rick for taking the time to post good info.
That was fun ... Does anybody know why I cringed every time he said ''increase the radius''?
LOL, more than likely I meant decrease the radius, or decrease the diameter. but you can increase or decrease the radius, but the affect will be the diameter, Anal enough for you.
Jay, for you insert decrease when you hear increase.
I was told that this thing's made out of plastic the main body of it
No it is metal, but if you try to bend metal that is larger than the specs. It will break.
With the adjustable wheel supported by a PLASTIC component this "tool" is not worth much unless you have a milling machine to make a replacement out of steel.
Yes,. But I found if you make small increments it seems to work fine. But the ideal solution would be to make it out of metal
6061 T-6 would work
