Eastwood make dies for two different shaft sizes. This bigger roller still uses the 22mm shafts the same as cheap 24" ones. I think they expect you to already have one of those and want a bigger heavy frame, twin 3/8" side plates, and a longer reach.
I will be using all my dies from the roller I already have. I needed the longer reach for a job I have coming up that needs the extra length. I looked at the more professional models and just buying the unit is not too bad, but when I added all the dies to them as well, it was out of my price range. This way I don't have to buy the dies and will use other parts from the smaller roller as well. I'll do a write up on it soon as working on it at the moment.

Many thanks for checking in guys. The year was taken up looking after my father, and after his passing, sorting out his estate. That is only just all finished and getting the last few things in order that I got behind in around the home and workshop.
Going away again for a month soon climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and the travelling around Ethiopia. Once we are back it is only a few weeks before the Christmas break, so be off again camping!

Hoping next year I will have more time and be able to focus better too.
