The Model G5771 50" Slip Roll is used to form sheet metal. A series of heavy metal rollers joined by gears and adjusted by hand knobs allow the user to flatten or create bends in metals up to 16 gauge thickness.

For flattening workpieces, the upper and lower rollers are adjusted to a thickness just slightly smaller than the thickness of the workpiece. The workpiece is then fed through the upper and lower rollers with the rear lowered out of the way. This process is repeated until the desired thickness or straightness is achieved.

For creating bends in workpieces, the sheet metal is first placed between the upper and lower roll bars. The lower roll bar is then adjusted to the thickness of the workpiece.

The workpiece is then fed through the upper and lower rollers and into the rear roller. By turning the radius adjustment knobs, the rear roller can be raised, forming a bend in the workpiece.

The user then turns the hand crank, processing the workpiece through the machine. A uniform radius curve is bent into the remaining length of the workpiece.

Tighter radius curves can be created by raising the rear roller and larger radius curves can be created by lowering the rear roller. Cones can be created by setting the ends of the rear roller at different heights.

Small diameter tubing and wire can be shaped using the wire channels located on one end of the lower and rear roller.

The upper roller is easily removed to allow unload- ing of cylindrical-shaped final workpieces.
