Keep hands and fingers from between the roller and die when bending materials to avoid possible injury.

Description

A ring roller is a machine used to roll metal into a ring by forcing the material through rollers, also called dies. The rollers can be adjusted to change the formed radius. The maximum mild steel machine capacity is 1/4" x 1" flat bar or 1/2" round rod. The minimum diameter you can form is 2.75"

Here is an example of this piece of equipment being used.

Demonstration

Demonstrate you can safely setup the Ring Roller. You will then proceed to cut a 5" long piece of 1/4" steel rod. Roll this material into the smallest radius possible. When rolling the material remember to keep your fingers away from the rollers to keep from smashing your fingers.

General Procedure

Adjust the knob on the right to adjust the radius, loosen the handle on the left if it restricting you from adjusting the right one.
Make sure both knobs are secure and tightened before rolling, always start by rolling the largest radius, and work your way up from there.
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.
You have completed the roll when the two ends overlap each other by a couple of inches to account for the ends of the bar or rod that stay straight.

 Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember... SAFETY FIRST!!!
 * Always be aware of the position of the clamp handle and the counterweight. They are heavy and can swing back suddenly causing serious body or head injuries.
-* Always make sure that there is plenty of space between the cutting tool and the work piece before turning on the mill. If the tool comes into contact with the work piece before getting up to speed and is set deeper than the maximum cutting depth, things will break.
+* Keep hands and fingers away from the rolls when the machine is in operation.
-* At times your work piece may be obscured by metal chips while cutting. Do not remove them while the machine is running. Turn off the mill, wait till it comes to a complete stop, and then remove the chips. There are some brushes on the tool rack that may be helpful for removing stubborn chips.
+* Keep hands and fingers clear of any gears or mechanisms. Make sure guard is in place before operating machine.
-* The milling process is great at creating sharp edges. Be aware of this when handling the work piece and make sure to deburr any sharp edges.
+* Keep hands and fingers from between the roller and die when bending materials to avoid possible injury.
-* Never make contact with the cutters as they are razor sharp and will cut you.
-* Never pass your hand under a cutter.
