Hey,
Working on a project where we need to stiffen up some aluminum panels, yet not carry the rib to the end of the sheet. Been looking at corrugation dies for our brake, but the issue is ending the punch before the sheet edge and the tooling cost is significant with no guarantees.
In NZ I've seen large bead rollers rolling roughly the equivalent to 0.125", but they were all home made / shop built by those crafty kiwi's.
Has anyone built one, or are there any commercial units available on the market? Seems like the largest capacity I've been able to find is 14 gauge. Tried reaching to a couple manufacturers of bead rollers for a custom unit, but no luck.
Cheers
