Default Interesting slip rolls

I have used pyramid rolls to bend 28 gauge sheet. It just depends whether they
were designed to cope with thin work or not.

Mark, here is the question: Did these rolls look like the one as
posted by the OP?

Or were your rolls able to pinch the thin sheet so as to propel it
through the rolls?

They were pyramid rolls, with the lower two rolls driven and the upper,
central, slip roll free. Needs a nice, free-running slip roll. Ball or roller
bearings are a must.
