Model T10727 (Mfg. Since 12/12)
Flat Rolling
The Model T10727 Slip Roll can be used to flat
roll sheet metal up to 20 gauge mild steel. This is
done to flatten or slightly reduce the thickness of
workpieces.
When you raise and lower the upper roller with
the thickness adjustment knobs, it is important
to keep the upper and lower rollers parallel by
adjusting the knobs in even amounts. This keeps
the space and pressure even along the length of
the rollers.
Pinching/Crushing
Hazard
To reduce the risk of inju-
ry, keep hands, fingers, or
other body parts away from
the rollers during opera-
tion.
To flat roll a workpiece:
1. Rotate the radius adjustment knob clockwise
to lower the rear roller below the workpiece
path, as illustrated in Figure 7. This will pre-
vent the rear roller from bending a curve in
the workpiece as it is fed through the slip roll.

2. Use the thickness adjustment knobs to adjust
the height of the upper roller so the workpiece
fits between the upper and lower rollers, as
illustrated in Figure 7.
3. Rotate the thickness adjustment knobs clock-
wise in even amounts to lower the upper roll-
er until the workpiece is held snug between
the rollers.
4. Turn the hand crank counterclockwise to
back the workpiece out of the rollers. Set the
workpiece aside for now.
5. Rotate the thickness adjustment knobs clock-
wise five increments on the dials (0.25mm)
to slightly lower the upper roller and increase
roller pressure.
6. Place the front of the workpiece on the
workpiece support. Slowly rotate the hand
crank clockwise to feed the workpiece through
the rollers, as illustrated in Figure 8.
7. Repeat Steps 5–6 as necessary until you are
satisfied with the results.
