Rolling Steps
- Adjust the knob on the left to get a large radius.
- Adjust the knob on the right to adjust for the size of the bar.
- Insert the bar between the rollers.
- Turn the crank to roll the metal bar or rod.
- Start with a large radius and continue to make the radius smaller every time you roll. If you attempt to roll a small radius all at once, the rod may make a corkscrew shape instead of a circle.
Demonstration
- Cut a 4 inch long piece of 1" x 1/8" aluminium.
- Roll the piece to the smallest possible radius.
