heres a 24" pinch roller, better than a pyramid roll imo, that I made. it loosely follows plans that we in Model Engineers Workshop years ago, but they are fairly simple and easy to freelance. most of the time it sits its box patiently waiting for me to one day need to roll something

That is a purty nice looking roll you built there.
If I didn't already have a 52" roll, I would build one like that!
Thumbs up!
Plans for a unit close to what you asked for are HERE
Have fun building.
You could build one for me Massajamesb! :p
That link comes up with nothing for me???
Sure, I will build you one Weldtutor, but I am out of metal, all I have to work with is a couple of sticks, a wad of Bazooka Joe bubble gum, duct tape, and some tussin and campho phenique.
Let's see what I can make from that.
Works Now!Quote:

It seems I'll have to carry on fabricating with wire & gas.
Oh, and I forgot to mention baling wire. I have at least half a rusty roll of that. :D
Dear Mcgyver.
I am interested on to build a slip roller like the one you built. Are your drawings available ?, is it some charge ?
Please let me know.
Best wishes.

i wish more would consider the mags like Home Shop Machinist, Model engineer, Model Engineers workshop. You'll get tons of how-tos, builds, projects etc. its a great way to learn :)
Does anyone have some plans or schematics for a slip roll?
I'm trying to construct a "miniature" slip roll, that will allow me to construct small pipes and cones that have a minimum diameter of 19mm.
I have a commercial one that has 32mm rolls and it does not suit my application.
Thanks in advance.

Ps. The fore mentioned cones are for expansion chambers for 2stroke motorcycles. :rolleyes: I roll the cones, then tig weld them to form a 2T exhaust.
Have found most info as included in Model Engineers Workshop by G. Thomas. His is 10" max width. Thinking about designing one about 18" max witdth. Wondering what size rollers you used for the 24" width? What is min. dia. can you roll with your size rollers?Quote:

dgoodard, sorry for being tardy, didn't notice your post earlier. The rollers irrc are just under 2", I'll measure next time i dig it out. btw, the MEW i was referring to is the magazine which is where this design was published, not a Geo Thomas book (although those are likewise excellent!)
