•
Mark the workpiece with a non-permanent marker to make it easier to follow tracking
patterns or contour the metal.
•
Try using the lightest wheel pressure possible to shape the workpiece. Too much pressure
will crease or ruin the metal.
•
Light pressure is best for smoothing; higher pressure is best for rough shaping.
•
Consistent patterns and movements generally return consistent results.
Tracking Patterns
As metal passes between the upper and lower wheels, a "track" or shiny line is pressed into the
metal. Various tracking patterns can be used to shape workpieces depending upon their shape
or size.
Zigzag Pattern
This pattern uses closely-spaced tracks to move from
one end of the material to the other. It can be used for
a variety of workpiece shapes.
1. Insert the workpiece between the wheels at point A,
and start rolling it along the edge. Left edge shown.
2. Push the workpiece forward to the stop point.
3. Turn the workpiece counterclockwise slightly.
4. Pull the workpiece back until it reaches the next
point near the far edge.
5. Turn the workpiece clockwise slightly.
6. Continue feeding the workpiece to the other side in
the same manner, following the pattern as shown.
Note
: Try keeping the tracks close to
each other.
