probably the same one I saw. It must have been five years ago and only one or two minutes long.

Thank you. But my curiosity is only growing. I think I saw something like that, maybe the machine was spinning, but I couldn't see how it worked. You see, it's still an archaeological fairy tale.

How to bend sheet metal on a machine that nobody uses. I am really curious if someone will show the truth about the legend and instruct us. With a small free video.

Default 3 olives

I contacted Cooper to see if they have a video. Since I live close enough to drive there, I also asked for a tour.

Hi Bill,
I attended a "1930's coachworks" auto show in Houston a few years back, and spent way too much time studying the Delage, Delahaye, Talbot, Alfa, LaGonda, and etc .... contours for applications of the olive press. Roll presses can be very helpful within the specific arena of thin sheet.

But again, some roll-presses handle up to 1 inch and thicker.

Think of the way you adapted your tooling for the stainless steel bumper. If the roller was motorized and if you had paddles to force the curve into the end of the bumper rather than pulling it up with your hands. Thats how I think it works. It doesn't make whole parts only portions that you then weld together.

It is clear to me that it will not make the whole mudguard in one piece, but I am interested in the limit of the machine. What is actually possible. So far only rumors of the princess and the dragon in the cave. I want to see the dragon and the princess in all its splendor. Telling a story is not enough in this case.

My EW test pushes the profile out. Stretches the edges. I wonder if olive can profile inward, arched - or just a reverse curve.

If you can, find out what is possible. It is interesting in terms of what is possible with the material. For thoughts.

I haven't seen an olive machine do a reverse curve.

That's why I'm wondering what he can do. Nothing concrete yet from anyone. The devil resides in detail. !!!

(Personally, I think that an olive press could be nudged to produce reverses ...)

Kent. The righteous devil, I will remember that. But from my life experience, I know that sometimes sweeps way for somebody's , but the truth, then he takes it all. But how for many people spoil the joy ....

I also think it can only reverse the curve. See my photo, exams from my EW.

Please can you somebody make a small video as evidence about a fairy tale point about olives. I want to see how the beautiful prince kisses Snow White. And the dwarves are watching. Smudge went twice ....
