Using the USA outfitters ring roller?

[welman.lo]

Looking into getting a manual ring roller for the shop and came across the one from USA Outfitters, so far it looks good in the photos and the price isn't bad, but I haven't seen much feedback on it from people actually using it, is there anyone here have hands on experience with this unit?

I want to add a manual ring roller to the shop soon mostly for mild steel round bar, flat stock, and maybe square tubing here and there, I've come across a bunch of options out there, but I want to seek other perspectives, so anybody have solid experience with a unit that doesn't flex under pressure or require constant tweaks?, don't wanna go CNC or hydraulic, just a good, solid manual setup that can get consistent results without costing a fortune.
And yeah I'm open to mods too if you've done any upgrades to make a budget one perform better

Go browse from Baileigh or Heck since the options there are (proven and tested) built tough and don't budge under pressure. Some of my other friends here also used Harbor Freight units with thicker side plates. They're pretty ok in terms of results.

Haven't used that exact one, but I've seen it in a few groups. Some say it's good for light to medium work. If you're bending thick stock often, might want to check how sturdy the frame and bearings are. Otherwise, for the price it looks like a decent starter!

The USA Outfitters ring roller looks decent, but don't buy the hype. Photos can't show weak bearings or cheap frame issues. For serious work, you often get what you pay for, it's not magic.

No hands-on here, but if you can test it first, the feel of the rolling action is really what matters. That'll tell you more than specs.
