bending Wire
the Model t23103 Slip roll can be used to shape
wires, rods, and small-diameter tubing. the wire
grooves can also be used when rolling sheet
metal that has a wire bead at one end.
To use the wire grooves:
1. place your workpiece into the smallest pos-
sible groove on the wheel. the three sizes
on the machine are
5
⁄
32
",
15
⁄
64
", and
5
⁄
32
" (see
figure 28).
6. Continue to process the workpiece until the
cylinder is formed, as shown in
figure 27.
—if the ends of the cylinder do not meet, lift
the rear roller equally at both ends, then
process the entire cylinder through the slip
roll again. repeat as necessary.
—if the ends of the cylinder overlap, remove
the cylinder as described in
Removing
Workpiece on Page 20. then, either
attempt to increase the radius by manually
bending it, or scrap the workpiece. lower
the rear roller equally at both ends then
process a new workpiece through the slip
roll. repeat this step as necessary.
