First off I've not the faintest clue what I'm doing so been relying on pouring through the internet for answers...
Decided I want to make some lips/ flanges in my otherwise flat sheets for more structural welding [car bodywork stuff]. Apparently best way to do this is a bead roller, so I went and bought a Metz one. I've had a play around with it to get an idea how it works and stiffened it up with some box section like people here have advised.
However, the set of rollers it comes with seem a bit well, not what I was wanting it to do, and especially the 90 degree flange mandrels seem a bit useless as they want to shear the metal more than bend it in a nice step. So I think I need some more rollers to get a rounder bend - is this set https://www.wnealservices.com/product/wns-bead-roller-roll-set-for-22mm-diameter-shafts-brrollset/ compatible? Seems a fair price for a nice selection but if anyone knows a good alternative I'm all ears.
Also if anyone can point me in the direction of a good how-to video/ post/ etc. that would be brill.
Cheers
