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.
