Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about here!

If you make a simple 3 wheel pyramid roller the rolls can be just mild steel
Can be used for rolling or Flattening.You cn buy cheap chinese 3 in 1
models for rolling,folding and guillotining.If they will suffice its not worth
the effort making one,if you want it for use rather than as a model
Footnote- Norman i thought an English wheel was a stretcher for
forming compound curves ??? Regards Barry

Maybe this is it. It will be interesting to see what he is actually talking about, I drew a complete blank when first reading the post.

IP is from Pakistan so I expect an engineer or college student looking for advise.
Think we should actually answer his question? Probably should look it up.
