I have a need to roll some sheet steel cones from 0.8mm stainless steel for a pair of megaphone exhausts i have a NEED for
I dont have a slip rolls or have access to one so i will be rolling by hand. I have got the flat patterns for my designs on my CAD package so i have templates to work from to guarentee the fit up.
Does anyone have any tips on rolling the steel into shape.
I thought about making a plug for each end with the correct taper on it and just bend the sheet around the plug, tack each end and then hand roll the form until the rest of the edges meet/line up.
