Dan,

    It sounds like you need a combination rolling mill, or one which has
    both flat rollers as well as grooved rollers. The grooved rollers
    are for refining and reducing ingots, however odd shaped they might
    start out. You are looking to create a square ingot, at the correct
    width, which you can then either flatten, or shape into half round
    with the mill. The square ingot can also be pulled through a
    drawplate after you have tapered the end with the rolling mill
    grooves. 

    Lots of possibilities... 

Good luck!
Jay Whaley
