bending Wire

the Model g5771 slip roll can be used to shape
wires, rods, and small-diameter tubing.

to use the wire grooves:

1. place your workpiece into the smallest pos-

sible groove on the wheel. the three sizes
are

5

16

",

3

8

", and

1

2

" (

figure 28).

Example: suppose you want to bend a piece
of

1

4

" rod. though it would fit in any of the

three grooves, you would use the

5

16

" groove

since it is the smallest possible groove that
the rod will fit into.

6. Continue to process the workpiece until the

cylinder is formed, as shown in

figure 27.

—if the ends of the cylinder do not meet, lift

the rear roller equally at both ends, then
process the entire cylinder through the slip
roll again. repeat as necessary.

—if the ends of the cylinder overlap, remove

the cylinder as described in

Removing

Workpiece on Page 20. then, either
attempt to increase the radius by manually
bending it, or scrap the workpiece. lower
the rear roller equally at both ends then
process a new workpiece through the slip
roll. repeat this step as necessary.
