  • Today were building a DIY sheet metal roller (aka slip metal roller). This new DIY slip roller is stronger than my old one and I've been wanting to update it for sometime. So far the new sheet metal slip roller works really well with aluminum and slightly thicker metals. Let me know what you guys think about this DIY sheet metal roller build or if there are any specific DIY builds you would like to see me do next?

No space for lathe unfortunately. currently waiting for my rollers to be turned at a local engineering shop out of solid 50mm EN8D Steel turned down to 20mm on each end With a H7 tolerance for the bearings.

    If I have one criticism of the video, it would be the title. You're not using scrap materials, you're using off cuts.
    That aside, it's still an excellent video that proves you don't need to spend lots of money to have perfectly good machinery.

    Mark a center line in each slide end horizontal. Then make or ribbit a metal ruler on each end so you can make sure each end is at the same setting for a perfect flat roll. Also you can adjust one end slightly more or less and make comical rolled shapes.

    It's always good to make your own tools when you can, I have done it a number of times. after all you can make them to fit your specific needs, and there's nothing better than the satisfaction of building your own tools. and some specialty tools can be quite spendy, and like you I'm a cheap bastard. I would build a lot more of my own tools, but I don't have anywhere nearly as elaborate a set up as you do. I thought at first you were going to change the format of your videos, to just show the building process like a lot of other youtubers do. even though some of them show subtitles. I don't really care for those kinds of videos. but at the end of the build you explained everything involved with the build. so I guess I'm ok with you producing your videos either way. because I like the fact that you explain what you are doing. I think you will be ok without having to use acme threaded rod, because your pushing the third roller down and not pulling it up. I was surprised that the tubing with that heavy wall flexed that much on that eighth inch metal. at least it sprung back, and like you said you probably won't have that much need to roll that heavy of steel very often. you could probably carefully fill in that divit on your milling table to where it would be unnoticeable. not so much for looks but because it will be a catch all for crap getting into it. that's just one of those cases where shit happens, a person just has to try to keep them to a minimum. you are no doubt a very skilled machinist and it happens to the best of them.

    I would appreciate more of these types of videos. I really enjoyed the quality of the camera shots and just being able to watch it peacefully with no background music. I feel like background music is ok for transitioning clips but when it's 20 or more minutes of machining, sometimes the music starts to get irritating. The only other thing I would say is if you could focus on the audio of the lathe humming and turn it down a bit. It gets a little echoey in my speakers. Other then those nit picky things. You're machining skills are awesome man. That sheet metal roller is a beauty.

    Some solid rollers would sort that problem out.
    Also you answered your own question about how to remove the rolled sheet (at 22:36 just pass it under the bottom roller, or lift it up while rolling & it springs out) because your never going to roll a sheet with 2times overlap. Usually I cut it to size on the guillotine first so you have nice clean edges the whole way around, then roll it with 2” lap (depending on radius = more or less lap) it’s easier to work with it over rolled than under rolled.

    Great use of a cut off bandsaw.......Who would have thought.
    Great build Cheers
    I saw the top roller bowing prior to putting the combo square on it.

    Old machinist trick: when you drill into the machine table, take small letter punches and stamp " OIL" next to the hole.

    Now you could also make a hydroform for fuel tank endcaps. The simple ones use either a grease gun or a pressure washer to supply pressure. Also, if you weld the rod to the upper roller link without going all the way through, then thread the top cap, you could slip the adjuster off the roller for an easier part removal.

    I like this format. Music sometimes makes it difficult to focus on the content.
