The Slip Roller is used to form curves, cylinders, and arcs from sheet metal. To operate, first adjust the roller gap to match the thickness of the material. Insert the sheet metal between the rollers and align it using the side guides if needed. Turn the crank handle to feed the material through the rollers, making multiple passes while gradually tightening the top roller to achieve the desired curvature. Continue until the sheet is bent to the required radius or cylinder shape. For best results, always make incremental adjustments and work slowly to avoid kinks or uneven rolling.
