*Rollers - Cylindrical components that the sheet metal passes through to form curves or cylinders.
*Adjusting Screws/Knobs - Controls that set the gap between the rollers to accommodate different material thicknesses.
*Frame/Base - The main structure supporting the rollers and workpiece.
*Crank Handle - Manual lever used to rotate the rollers and feed the material through the machine.
*Material Feed Area - Space where the sheet metal is inserted before rolling.
*Side Guides/End Stops - Components that help align the sheet metal for consistent rolling.

====Operation====
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.
