I've heard of people beefing them up a little, and them working well. If you search the HotRodders.com forum there are a lot of people on there that have them.
For about the same price, I built one thats a lot bigger, and can roll 16 gauge with ease.

You can build that for $250?

I thought the price was pretty good and it comes with a set of dies. The additional 6 die sets are about $85.

Like I said, about that. I build mine for about $300.

Looks good. I have their smaller one and I have no clue what I am doing. It is fun to learn on though. Good luck.

I don't recommend them. if you can actually get close to one, if you roll the wheels you'll see that they aren't machined properly and don't constantly stay in contact.

I had a bunch on my website. But for some reason its down right now. I will throw an anvil on it tomorrow and take a picture.
I got my anvils from Hoosier pattern. That was the majority of the cost.

Okay got a picture.
I used an SKF bearing for the upper wheel. Worked great and was a lot cheaper. PN is SKF 5313-2PS. I got a chunk of 2.5" round and machined an axle for it, and pressed the bearing onto it.
