erw rolling

[H9_Danny]

Hi everyone....1st post

Is it possible to roll 30x30x1.5 & 40x40x1.5 erw square on a rolling machine?

Also, would it be better to go thicker ?

lastly, which direction is best to put the seam when rolling?

thanks

edited to mention that it is a 3 wheel electric roller

A lot depends on the radius you are trying to roll...........and what kind of roll you have.

You should be able to do this as long as the rolling radius is not too tight. The seam will need to be on the sides of the bend (not toward the inside or outside rollers).

thanks guys

I will have a play about once the steel arrives but the seam on the side makes sense.

I have no fixed radius and will work within the boudaries set from test pieces

I have ordered 1.5mm and I will post results as and when so it will help others
