Machine Description

The Model T10727 is a 12" slip roll that mounts in a sturdy bench-mounted vise instead of being directly fastened to a workbench. This provides you with the strength and stability you need when forming sheet metal—without sacrificing precious workbench space or requiring time-consuming setups before operating.

The slip roll has three specially positioned metal rollers to make bends, cones, and cylinders from sheet metal. The rollers have grooves at one end that also allow wire to be rolled into various circles or curves.

The slip roll has a hand crank on one end that the operator uses to rotate the rollers as they feed the sheet metal into the slip roll. Two sets of adjustment knobs allow the operator to adjust the spacing distance between certain rollers to either control the radius of ends or accommodate varying thicknesses of sheet metal or wire.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

INTENDED USAGE. Only use machine for its intended purpose and never make modifications not approved by Grizzly. Modifying machine or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to serious personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Slip Rolls

OVERLOADING. Overloading this machine can

cause injury from flying parts or property damage. Do not exceed the machine capacities.

SECURING SLIP ROLL. Before using, secure the slip roll to a sturdy vise that is securely fastened to a workbench that can support the weight and dynamic forces involved in forming sheet metal. Otherwise, the slip roll may unexpectedly move or fall, causing serious injury or property damage.

METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can result in severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves before handling sheet metal, and chamfer and debur edges.

TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using the slip roll with loose or damaged hardware could result in sudden, uncontrolled movements during use. Inspect the slip roll for any cracked linkage, controls, or loose fasteners. Correct any problems before use.

GLOVES AND GLASSES. Always wear leather gloves and approved safety glasses when using the slip roll.

HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a torch while it is in the slip roll will weaken the metal of the rollers and the frame. Do not use a torch or other similar heating tool near the slip roll.

BACK INJURIES. The cranking motion required to operate this slip roll is potentially harmful if proper technique is not used. To avoid back injuries, keep your back vertical and never over-exert yourself or operate the slip roll in awkward positions.

CRUSHING & PINCHING INJURIES. Slip rolls can quickly crush or pinch fingers or hands. Never place fingers or hands between or near the rollers during operation.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
