Great gents, I can now get myself a sprocket and chain to target my preferred lowest RPM speed before the VFD takes over.
I am shooting for about 10 rpm from the reduction box.

That sounds kind of high. Don't really know what your doing with the roller, standard beads or making raised designs like some guys are doing. Most of the builds I've seen shoot for 4 or 5 RPM on the lowest speed with 10 to 15RPM being full speed.

But chain and sprockets are pretty cheap so it can be changed later.
