If you can get ahold of an old worn out fork off a lift, I have a couple they make great ( anvils) and dont take up any room.. I have built all kinds of stuff out of them
@@ChrisJEllis Only thing I miss is the supplies I use to get any kind of spray or the old stuff.. Never did in house always on the road.. first road call replace a steering column on an old clark like a 3k in the basement of a restaurant supply.. all I say dont fight that iron as it was told to me it will win.
Chris it will do 18 go slowly with it dont try to do the complete roll one shot, you may need to feed it through and tighten it a little bit each time. my last comment got deleted not sure why? another youtuber with the same exact roller did 1.2 mm stainless it worked fine.. and I would suggest grease the drive gears and the little bushings on the top roller just a bit, and dont make a longer handle Im sure it will strip the drive gears.. all this just a suggestion of course its yours do as you please. if its compound bend feed it in on a slight angle. keep messing with it you will get it.
I looked it up. It's 16ga. That's why I can't bend it. Every place in town sells 16 or 22. I wanted 18 or 20 but couldn't find any when I was patching the 64.
@@ChrisJEllis what model did you buy? the SJ 300 will do 18 gauge you need to just go slow.. just keep messing with it, if it put a curve in it, it will do more, dont over tighten the upper roller or bottom roller.. another words dont crank the shit out of it.. Haha

@Malcolm-s3t I was a road tech but now in-house
like 1 !
Nice
I think VW's are 19 gauge, 20 might be the closest? 19 is pretty hard to find
So you think 22 is too thin? I can try and find some 20ga. Damn that piece turned out nice.

@@ChrisJEllis In the vid you said 18 gauge .. Ok you got me now.. it dont take much to confuse me 35 years repairing forklifts did me wrong.. Haha
Yep. I thought I had 18 but it's 16. My bad. I need to find a metal yard around here.
Well its all trial and error chris
Well Jason is saying it should be 19ga or 20ga. I don't know where to get 20ga and that panel came out as perfect as I hoped. IDK
