[TheForge] Sheet metal roller qestion

Sun Aug 18 14:27:00 2002

Actually Ray, I have two adjustments on this unit.  One is the "thickness"
between the two rollers and the other is the outside roller for diameter of
the finished roll.

Is the small diameter round stock rolled sheet metal or is it steel rods for
hems?
