Uh… well not quite\u00a0the same as rocking and rolling. The music is different.<\/p>\n

Actually what I did today was order a new tool. It is a 12 inch (baby) set of slip rolls. Hence the title. What’s a slip roll? I know because I grew up in a family that always had a sheet metal shop… or two… would you believe three?<\/p>\n

\"G7148\"<\/a>A slip roll is used to form sheet metal into a slight curve all the way to a complete cylinder. It can also be used to form cones, scoops\u00a0or funnel shapes. Most slip rolls have small grooves at one side to form rings from heavy wire. here is a picture of the one I ordered. Click on thumbnail to enlarge.<\/p>\n

I never had one this small before. The ones I used in the business were at least 36 inches long. This one will be great for hobby use as I no longer do large sheet metal projects. I am planning some hobby work where I will need to form cylinders from sheet copper.<\/p>\n

There is a clever 12″ 3-in-1 machine (Cut, Bend, Roll) available, but my experience\u00a0with any combo\u00a0machine is there is always a compromise.<\/p>\n

I have just posted some pictures over in the THMSHOP\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>along with a scathing review,\u00a0now that I have\u00a0this tool\u00a0in the shop. It is a real P.O.S.! ~ Dan’l<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
