Hi Julie
I don’t know why Ted isn’t a fan for that stand to function with a rolling mill. But I must agree that I would not use it for one either. That crank at the top of it’s swing will develop a lot of leverage against the four bolt flange on the floor. I could see a 50 pound rolling mill rocking back and forth with each turn of the crank and with the help of leverage pulling loose from the floor. A shear and a grinder are pretty static and should be stabile but a manually operated rolling mill is a leverage machine.
I would be less worried if the rolling mill on that stand was an electric powered mill.
