INTRODucTION
Machine Description
Manual accuracy
We are proud to provide a high-quality owner’s
manual with your new machine!
a slip roll is a machine used to flatten and create
constant-radius curves in sheet metal workpieces.
the three roller system adjusts to allow the opera-
tor to complete a number of procedures.
We made every effort to be exact with the instruc-
tions, specifications, drawings, and photographs
contained inside. Sometimes we make mistakes,
but our policy of continuous improvement also
means that sometimes the machine you receive
will be slightly different than what is shown in
the manual.
the t25688 can quickly adjust to create cone,
spiral or continuous cylindrical shapes with sheet
metal up to 22 gauge. Workpieces can be bent
to job specification, straightened, or even slightly
flattened. in addition to sheet metal, this slip roll

has ⁄8", ⁄16", and ⁄4" grooves for precise wire/rod
bending.
if you find this to be the case, and the difference
between the manual and machine leaves you
confused about a procedure, check our website
for an updated version. We post current manuals
and manual updates for free on our website at
www.grizzly.com.
the t25688 features a quick-release upper roller
designed specifically for the easy release of cylin-
drical workpieces from the machine.

cleanup
Site considerations
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Workbench Load
refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some workbenches may require additional rein-
forcement to support the weight of the machine
and workpiece materials.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Placement Location
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and addi-
tional space needed for auxiliary stands, work
tables, or other machinery when establishing a
location for this machine in the shop. below is the
minimum amount of space the machine needs to
function.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
•
•
•
Disposable Rags
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Plastic paint scraper (optional)

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised around this machine.
Lock entrances to the shop
or disable start switch or
power connection to prevent
unsupervised use.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

bench Mounting
assembly
the base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench or
other mounting surface to prevent it from moving
during operation and causing accidental injury or
damage.
the model t25688 comes from the factory almost
fully assembled. all that is required for assem-
bly is attaching the crank handle to the handle.
thread the crank handle into the small end of the
crank and tighten, as shown in figure 7.
the strongest mounting option is a "through
mount" (see example below) where holes are
drilled all the way through the workbench—and
hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to
secure the machine in place.

necessary, get assistance
to support the workpiece.
Make sure all helpers are
wearing safety glasses
and leather gloves when
assisting in the use of this
machine.
Depending on the size and shape of the
workpiece, you may need assistance to sup-
port the workpiece as it exits the machine.
failure to adequately support the workpiece
may result in the workpiece falling, causing
injuries.

3. turn the radius adjustment knobs to lift the
rear roller until the desired radius bend is
reached (see figure 16). make sure to turn
the knobs equal amounts so the rear roller is
always parallel with the other rollers. Failure
to do so will create a larger radius on one end
than the other, resulting in a cone or spiral
shape.
4. turn the crank to process the material
through the slip roll. Continue turning until
the workpiece is completely through the top
and bottom rollers (see figure 17).

once you have the necessary length workpiece,
follow the steps below to create the cylinder.
creating cylinders
Note: The method for creating a specific radius is
a trial-and-error process. Due to the many varia-
tions among metal workpieces, no single position-
ing will create the same curve on all materials. We
recommend using scrap pieces the same dimen-
sions and material as the final workpiece until the
desired curve is achieved.
this slip roll can be used to easily and accurately
create cylinders
if you know the diameter of the cylinder you want
to create, use the formula below to calculate the
length of material needed.
c=πd
To create a cylinder:
C=Circumference
1. place the workpiece between the top and
bottom rollers, as shown in figure 19. turn
the thickness adjustment knobs to lift the
bottom roller until the workpiece is held snug
between the top and bottom rollers. be sure
to turn the thickness adjustment knobs equal
amounts.
(length of material needed)
π=pi (approximately 3.142)
d=diameter
Example: Suppose you want to create a 6" diam-
eter cylinder. you would use the above formula as
follows:
C=πd
C=(3.142) x 6"
C=18.852"
the result of 18.852" indicates that you need to
start with a piece of sheet metal that is approxi-
mately 18.852" in length in order to create a 6"
diameter cylinder.
CW
you can use the slip roll to create a bend with the
correct radius so that the two ends meet, forming
a 6" diameter cylinder (see figure 18).

2. turn the crankclockwise to feed the workpiece
until it is approximately half way through the
rollers.
5. rotate the workpiece 180˚, insert the curved
end into the slip roll, then process the
workpiece through the machine, as shown in
figures 22–23.
3. turn the radius adjustment knobs to lift the
rear roller until the desired radius bend is
reached (see figure 20). make sure to turn
the knobs equal amounts so the rear roller is
always parallel with the other rollers. Failure
to do so will create a larger radius on one end
than the other, resulting in a cone shape.
Note: Always err on the side of making the
radius too large rather than too small. It is
easy to decrease the radius but very difficult
to increase the radius later.

the workpiece is completely through the top
and bottom rollers (see figure 21).

6. Continue to process the workpiece until the
cylinder is formed, as shown in figure 24.
bending Wire
—if the ends of the cylinder do not meet, lift
the rear roller equally at both ends, then
process the entire cylinder through the slip
roll again. repeat as necessary.
this slip roll can be used to shape wires, rods,
and small-diameter tubing. the wire grooves can
also be used when rolling sheet metal that has a
wire bead at one end.
—if the ends of the cylinder overlap, remove
the cylinder as described in Removing
Workpiece on Page 18. then, either
attempt to increase the radius by manually
bending it, or scrap the workpiece. lower
the rear roller equally at both ends then
process a new workpiece through the slip
roll. repeat this step as necessary.
To use the wire grooves:
1. place the workpiece into the smallest pos-
sible groove on the wheel. the three sizes

are ⁄8", 3⁄16", and ⁄4"(see figure 25).
Example: Suppose you want to bend a piece
1
of ⁄8" rod. though it would fit in any of the
1
three grooves, you would use the ⁄8" groove
since it is the smallest possible groove that
the rod will fit into.
