Our partners roll plate and sheet into cylinders, cones, and curved profiles for tanks, hoppers, chutes, and structural sections.
| Workpiece | Partner Capacity | Typical Tolerance | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plate cylinders | Up to 1/4 inch thick plate | ±1/16" on diameter | Full-length seams available (see Welding) |
| Sheet metal sections | Up to 16 ga sheet | ±1/32" | Precision small-radius work |
| Cones / tapered sections | Varies by geometry | ±1/16" | Most common in chutes and hoppers |
| Curved channels / angles | Structural shapes | ±1/16" | Flange-in and flange-out |
Capacity depends on width and diameter. Upload your drawing and our AI quotes your exact geometry.

What Rolling Costs
Rolling is quoted by the piece — labour is based on roll passes and handling time.
- Material: Weight (lbs) × rate/lb × 1.30 markup
- Rolling labour: Based on number of passes and cylinder diameter — typically $40–$120 per piece for common sizes
- Setup: $30 flat per job (includes machine setup)
- Typical range: Simple rolled channel sections $30–80 each. Cylinders $80–300 each depending on diameter and length. Cones $150–400.

Why Roll With Us
We handle the full path: rolled section, welded seam, and any laser-cut or machined details — one quote, one point of contact, one delivery. For heavier plate than our partner rolls, we work with a specialist, so you still get one quote and one door.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats do you accept for rolling?
DXF is the standard. STEP files, PDF drawings, and photos with a scale reference also work. Our AI reads the geometry directly — no manual takeoff needed.
Can you roll and weld a complete cylinder?
Yes. Rolling plus a full-length welded seam is one of our most common jobs — cylinder, cone, or tapered section, with any laser-cut penetrations added before or after rolling.
How thick can you roll?
Our partner rolls plate to 1/4 inch and sheet down to 16 ga. For heavier plate we partner with a specialist. Upload your drawing for an exact answer.
How does this compare to sending flat parts to a roll former?
A dedicated roll former quotes one operation and then you still have to find a welder. We roll, weld, and finish — so your part shows up done, not half-done.
