flanger knowledge help please
I am looking for some one with power flanger knowledge
like in type of flanger in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeiaXy8wZHc my questions are which axis do forming roller turn on is lower axis horizontal? with flanged roller or vertical with flanged roller? or 45 degrees with vee roller? top roller axis 45 degree? or vertical with square corner roller ? I presume both rollers powered ? I have looked for manuals that might clue me in but no luck yet so I thought I would call on vast knowledge in this forums member base Thanks Ken |

Looking at the way you have to pre-crease the corner, I would say the rollers are configured like this:20FC5D1A-0020-406E-BA38-1A29819B76B9.jpeg
I had a Shorte flanger some years ago and it was the same as in the photo but some have parallel rollers, others have tapered ones.

Thank you Gareth
I presume that top piece pivots down ? with pedal? I am also curious if other machines do it different this is all because I am intrigued by machine and am interested in building one to play with [ I can not justify buying ] and as usual would like to try not to reinvent the wheel also would like to push material thickness up Ken |

Ken, sorry, I don’t know how the one in photo operates as the one I had was manually adjusted in with a bolt. I never really did anything with it as it was one of those machines I bought cheap and thought it would be useful but never found a job for it. From what I’ve seen, they’re pretty crude machines so I’m not sure you’ll find one that has a pedal mechanism. I’m surprised you can’t find one cheap as there’s always a load of them a available on auction sites here in the UK.
