Stew, If it's the sort of thing you are considering, the current (April 2012, no 188) copy of MEW has a description of a home-made bead roller in it. The throat depth is 490mm. No drawings, but the photos and description are self-explanatory. The author doesn't say what gauge of steel it will handle. He shows a repair panel he made for a Triumph Spitfire, but if IIRC the body panels on the Spitfire my wife owned 35 years ago were pretty thin. Andy |

Stew, Are you looking for info on a sheet metal type roller? Or am I confusing this with something else? |

At first, I had a vision of an industrial size rolling mill in Stew's shop, reducing the thickness of big red hot billets of steel :lol: Andy |
