Hey folks,
Am looking to pick up a roll bender and don’t know anything about them.
Are there rollers that will roll angle iron?

TIA
Colby

There are rollers for angles and other sections.
Rolling angle requires significant force, so these rollers tend to be big hydraulic or three phase electric operated industrial units. Expensive. Not something you'd have sitting in the corner for the occasional use.
There are shops about that's all they do is roll steel to order for fabricators, architectural etc. You supply the steel and the drawing, they roll it for you.

Grab a Hossfeld. Or better yet, you can even make one yourself based off their design. And you can even add your own hydraulics.
