Sheet Metal Tools & Roller Question.

[cyanide]

Hi,

I mainly do sheetmetal work, building bodies and the like for RC cars. I do not have a workshop, but I am lucky to have a friend that lets me hang out at his pretty much every weekend and also store my tools there.

My favorite sheetmetal tool so far is my Swaging Jenny (bead roller).


I have recently got a 760mm x 1.0mm 3-in-1 Metal Shear Press Roll


We understand the basics of the Shear and Press, but we are not so sure about the correct usage of the Roller. Are there any beginner tips out there for using a roller to get nice smooth even curves in the sheet?

Thanks.
