Model T10727 (Mfg. Since 12/12)
-17-
Bending Wire
The Model T10727 Slip Roll has five match-
ing grooves on the upper and lower rollers (see
Figure 19) for bending wire, rods, and small tub-
ing in diameters of
3
⁄16",
5
⁄32",
1
⁄8",
1
⁄16", and
1
⁄32".
Figure 19. Roller grooves in five diameters.
To use the grooves:
1. Place your workpiece into the smallest pos-
sible groove on the wheel.
Example: Suppose you want to bend a piece
of
3
⁄32" diameter rod. Though it would fit in
the
3
⁄16" and
5
⁄32" grooves, you would use the
1
⁄8" groove since it is the smallest possible
groove that the rod will fit into.
2. Create bends in the workpiece as described
in Creating Bends on Page 13, or create
loops as described in Creating Cylinders on
Page 14.
The roller grooves can also be used when
forming sheet metal that has a wire bead at
one end.
Removing Workpiece
A completed workpiece that does not have an
opening wide enough to roll it off the slip roll can
be removed by lifting the upper roller from the
brackets.
To remove cylindrical workpieces:
1. Rotate both thickness adjustment knobs so
that the threads no longer protrude into the
roller bushing space, as shown in Figure 20.
2. Lift the gear guard cover (see Figure 21),
then lift the upper roller up and out from the
slip roll frame. Take care not to displace the
compression springs underneath the bush-
ings.
3. Remove the workpiece, then re-install the
upper roller with the gears meshed.
