Creating Bends

This slip roll can create constant-radius bends in
sheet metal up to 15 gauge mild steel.
Note: The method for creating a specific radius is
a trial-and-error process. Due to the many varia-
tions among metal workpieces, no single position-
ing will create the same curve on all materials. We
recommend using scrap pieces the same dimen-
sions and material as the final workpiece until the
desired curve is achieved.
Upper and lower rollers of
machine present pinching
hazard. Make sure no body
part or clothing is near area
between rollers. Failure to
follow this warning may
result in fingers, hair, or
clothing being pulled into
machine, causing personal
injury.

3. Place workpiece between upper and lower
rollers, as shown in Figure 16. Turn thick-
ness adjustment knobs to raise lower roller
until workpiece is held snugly between upper
and lower rollers. Make sure to turn knobs
equal amounts so lower roller is parallel with
upper roller.
