Ring Roller
Revision as of 11:24, 14 March 2019 by Jwhipple15 (talk | contribs)
A ring roller is a machine used to roll steel material by forcing the material through through rollers, also called dyes. The rollers can be adjusted to form different radii. The maximum capacity of the roller is 3/16" x 1" flat bar or 1/2" round.
The current Ace of the Ring Roller is Luke Roderick (lroderick20@georgefox.edu).

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 5 inch long piece of 1" x 1/8" aluminium.
- Roll the piece to the smallest possible radius. This will not be a full ring.
