Here's a couple photos:
I have the same slip roller as Ron is using in his post, heres my piece with centerline and the extent of my travel marked, I moved the piece down before clamping.

I rolled equally front to back, then set the rear roller and rolled them equally front to back, sorry about the poor quality of photo, if anybody can suggest a good, inexpensive shop camera i will get one:

And, here is how it comes out, this is where I normally turn it around and reroll it but it still needs fussing with, probably because of the working characteristics of 3003H14 and how it work hardens. Anyway, you can see there are 2 different radius', the well defined being the 'back' and lesser the 'front' as it sat in the machine.

OJ,
it looks like you are working alone and trying to
set the slip rolls to control the shape.
If you can get a helper to crank the rolls while you lift up on one end
to get a tighter radius as well as having one side pinched less
at the infeed you can slide the material in and out.


Also did you know you can feed the material in from the back down from the back roll into the pinch rolls.


Keep trying Ron

Oj. Do you start with a marginal line?

I think it is necessary to drive the machine from edge to edge. Several times and add pressure very gently. Almost imperceptibly.

If that doesn't work, use a rubber wheel in the EW. This way I do it very accurately.

Again. Even in this case. A little pressure and run the runway several times. Maybe you only have a lot of pressure at the start.
