Note:
When the First setting is made the other two will be automatically correct The other two shapes can be
made by placing material to the proper gauge step.
There are two top seven rolls, one stamped T-7, 22-24 gauge which has a wide slot and should be used
with 22 and 24 gauge material. The second roll is stamped T-7, 26-28 gauge and should be used for the
lighter materials. The exit angle gauge has an adjustable bar that can be lowered to exert pressure on the
material as it emerges from the rolls, thereby straightening the finished section. (See Sketch 3).
Ca ution: When adjusting exit gauge be sure it is set to the “T” section shape or damage will result by
material interference with the gauge bar.
Note:
When changing rolls, loosen the exit gauge and move it to the extreme end of the table slots, away from
where the material will pass. Run a test piece of material through the rolls and stop machine as the lead
edge of the formed material reaches the end of the exit table.
Set exit gauge to the formed material; the gauge should be set flush to, but not bearing against, the
material unless side pressure is required for straightening. Adjustment of the tension on the 3/8” studs
that pass through the plates will affect the shape and tendency of material to hold to the entrance gauge.
It is important : that when changing rolls all parts pertaining to each set be removed from the machine
and all parts included on assembly.
6. Replace top cover and back plate
7. Hold material against gauge and feed into machine.
