Eastwood Heavy Duty 50 Inch Slip Roller with Stand (59752)

Eastwood 50" Heavy Duty Slip Roller — Roll Full 48" Sheet Metal Panels The Eastwood Heavy Duty 50" Slip Roller takes a full 48-inch sheet and rolls it into curves, cones, and cylinders. Driveshaft and transmission tunnels, rounded truck-bed panels, curved patch panels, and custom ornamental work all come off the same machine — and it forms rod as well as sheet. The 3.5:1 gear reduction is what makes the full width usable. Rolling a 48-inch panel by hand takes real effort at the crank; the gear-down trades a few extra turns for control, so the bend stays even across the whole sheet instead of wandering. It handles up to 14-gauge mild steel and 14-gauge aluminum, down to a 2.5" minimum roll diameter, with four dedicated grooves for rolling 1/16", 3/32", 1/4", and 5/16" rod. The roller ships with its floor stand — both legs, tie rods, drive crank, and mounting hardware — so it’s a freestanding machine, not a benchtop unit needing its own surface. It’s a freight item: crated it runs about 590 lbs and ships LTL, and Eastwood backs it with a 1-year warranty. If you’re already running an English Wheel for compound curves, a slip roll covers the single-axis rolling the wheel can’t — the two tools split most sheet-forming work between them.
