hello to all, this will be my first post.
I am planning to build a ring roller and possibly later a pipe and tube roller and since I have no knowledge of low rpm motors I am hoping some of you folks may be able to get me on the right track. I have seen via the internet hf rollers driven by a pony threader but I would prefer to use something that is not so long. from the very little that I have found I think maybe a gear head motor but I don't know what would be my best bet. I would want it to be single phase and reversible and preferably 115v but 220v wouldn't be much of a problem, I have plenty of room in my panel I would just prefer to use a extension cord for convenience.

Thanks In advance.
