aametalmaster Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Since we are bending here is my Scroller and it is motorized with a 60:1 gearbox and a 3/4 hp motor 1,000+ inch pounds of torque. I can scroll 1,000 pcs of 3/16"x1" metal in a day with no effort or strain on my body like bending them by hand...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersenj20 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Bob- Is that shop built or commercial. It looks simple to make. Can you post some pics of the individual scroll pieces looking straight down on them. I would like to make a manual scroller for my bender and need the dimensions.

aametalmaster Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 The scroller itself is a Shop Outfitters Metal Bending Tools Tube and Pipe Bending unit. The design of the base and gearbox setup is mine. I will get you some pics Monday...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentin Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Bob does the ''spinig'' stops when u stop pushing the button ? or u have a counter that counts how many rotations the machine made and every time it stops at a given amount of rotations ? I am also into building one right now ...but it will take some time until i find the time to finish it ! ...Right now i am building the counter and the software for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aametalmaster Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I would rather have a foot switch that turns it when stepped on but the drum switch works fine. So yes i have to flip the switch to start/stop it...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i have reverse and the scrolls come out all the same because there are lines scribed in the die where i just stop the part at the line...Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
