Charlie - If you're interested, I came across an Italian manufacturer that makes a 8 gauge roll crimping tool that is used in a drill press. I have a friend going to Italy in few weeks if you think you can't live without this roll crimper. I will have to determine who the company is, too, so I can tell you the cost. But, there are only two I looked at so it wouldn't be difficult finding out the info.

The photo shows their 12 gauge roll crimper, but, the 8 gauge is included in their sales information on the internet.
