I am quoting a job that requires quite a few flat topped cone shapes.
Rough sizing is 17" large diameter, 12" top diameter and about 28" tall and it will be 12 gauge aluminum.
I do have a nice Webb pinch roll that has been working well for the thicker steel plates.
My question is how to get a decent seam with no flat spot. I am getting pretty good at doing my steel plates and I can minimize the flat spots but with the conical shape and such thin material I need some sage advice.
Anyone have any tips on how this can be done?
I don't have the original cone rolling attachment for the Webb so I will have to make one. There would be more than 100 of these to do and I am also wondering if I should get the blanks laser cut or plasma?
Thanks,
Michael
