I have not used them. According to their specs:
Their small ring roller handles up to 3/16 x 1" and up to 5/16" round.
Their large ring roller handles up to 3/8 x 2" and up to 1/2" square.
I assume these are "cold" specs. Why don't you write or called them and post their answers on theforge?

The ring rollers won't do angle iron, but they sell a Compact Bender which is a mini Hossfeld. You could bend angle iron 
with it but would need to build your own tooling. Centaur sells a Hossfeld manual.
