605 forum posts	Hi all. I am planning to make the sheet metal rolls featured some time ago in ME. This requires some gears to link the rolls, I have done many searches on the web but not yet found anything, does anyone have a source of supply for such things. I am talking steel gears rather than plastic of course. Bill D.

2292 forum posts 159 photos	Hi Bill, I recently saw a picture on the web of some home made slip rolls that used a crank to link the rollers. (Like between the wheels of a steam locomotive. ) At first I thought it was a good idea but then thought that when the cranks and connecting links were in line it would not work well. Later I thought that if the other ends of the rolls were linked in the same way but with these cranks set 90 degrees from the first set it would solve the problem. I can not remember where on the web I saw the picture. Something to think about. Les.

2292 forum posts 159 photos	Hi again, I found the pictures of these slip rolls. They are on a you tube video about 3.5 minutes from the start . It does look like both ends are linked. Here is the url http://www.youtube.com/user/myfordboy#p/u/5/m_-iPpEuWRA Les.

267 forum posts	The Bending Rolls with the crank were my design and are in the myhobbystore plans range. The plan title is Simple Bending Rolls. Plan no WE59. The cranks are set at 90 degrees. I am using them in the Youtube video mentioned by les Jones. They were designed for sheet steel but I am giving them hell in the video and rolling 6mm x 30mm black steel!

When I've finished my A7 Fowler I fancy a ploughing engine so will need some rolls. Jason The rims and smokebox were rolled with them. They have handled anything I've thrown at them. They were origionaly made to roll up the saddle tank on a Sweet Pea. I would beef up the crank size if I made another as there is quite a stain on them when rolling the bigger stuff. I didn't want to spend months on a exihbition quality set of rolls , just a quick functional tool.
