That is very cool and beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Would switching to roller bearings allow you to roll steel? Or is it other construction details.

I think it is just the construction details. It will roll 1/16" thick steel but much past that it does become a bit hard to feed the steel through. The two large rollers if geared so that both turned together would help with the slippage of the material between the rollers.
It is really aimed at "model engineers" for home use, to take the place of bending bits of metal around 'jam jars', 'beer bottles', 'cans' and the like.
I'm sure we have all tried it with varying results
