Creating Bends

The Model T10727 Slip Roll can easily create con- stant-radius bends in sheet metal up to 20 gauge.

Note: The method for creating a specific radius is

atrial-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 that you experiment with scrap material before using the actual workpiece until you find the settings that will achieve your desired curve.

To create a bend in a workpiece:

1.Use the thickness adjustment knobs to adjust the height of the upper roller so that you can place the workpiece between the upper and lower rollers, as illustrated in Figure 9.

2.Turn the thickness adjustment knobs clock- wise to lower the upper roller until the workpiece is held snug between the rollers.

Be sure to turn the thickness adjust knobs equal amounts to keep the space and pres- sure between the rollers even.

Pinching/Crushing

Hazard

To reduce the risk of inju- ry, keep hands, fingers, or other body parts away from the rollers during opera- tion.

3.turn the hand crank clockwise to feed the workpiece until its leading edge is just above the rear roller, as illustrated in Figure 10.
