edge along the outer
edge of the machine plate for the re

forming, roll station #2 through 6 for
the bottom flange. (The number 1 roll
station rolls are shorter in length so
that they may be shimmed away from
the machine plates to locate the punch

closer to the bendline, thereby achiev
ing a tighter fit on the snap.

WARNING: The gauge setting should not be made

while the #1 station is shimmed away fr.om

its normal location and protruding beyond

the other roll stations.

The top #1 roll is

fastened to the shaft by a bolt and washers.

The bottom roll is not restrained by the

bolt and washer but is held in position by a

shoulder on the #1 roll and it should be al
lowed to float.

The shim,

if required,

should be placed behind the top roll only.

(2) Measure in from the straight
