Rolling Steps

  1. Adjust the knob on the left to get a large radius.
  2. Adjust the knob on the right to adjust for the size of the bar.
  3. Insert the bar between the rollers.
  4. Turn the crank to roll the metal bar or rod.
  5. 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

  1. Cut a 4 inch long piece of 1" x 1/8" aluminium.
  2. Roll the piece to the smallest possible radius.
