Thanks for your input. We tried that a few years ago and impact wrenches have super high impact torque but terrible low speed rotational torque. Our best success has been with a low-speed high strength system like a pipe threader.
The short answer is as best as you can with a tape measure or your measuring tool. You should loosen the compression bolts and measure your part. if you need it 3 mm smaller in diameter, then cut 3*Pi or 9mm off of one side, and continue rolling. Generally you start with extra material and cut off the same amount on every part. Sometimes I have blanks laser cut with a tiny tab or cutout in them, roll it, cut it right at that location, and keep rolling, and then all of the parts will be really close to being identical
I'd add 8 to 10 inch hand wheels to the compression bolts and use an impact wrench on the feed roller, just my 2c

How do you do repeatability?
