| For the past year it seems like we have been doin more and more boiler breechings in my area. And most of them are 16 ga black iron welded. I have been lookin at powered slip rolls. For now i would like to get away with a cheaper set, we would prob only use them a few times every month. Now some of the cheaper one say that they are rated for 16 ga steel. Now i know that most machines that are rated for the specific gauge usual bog out when that gauge goes through. So i was wondering if any one had a set of slip rolls rated for 16 ga and to see if it would roll it or give them problems. Thanks |

| If you are going to be rolling mostly 16ga material, I recommend a 14ga roll. You not want to be maxing out your roll capacity everytime you use it! Most rolls will perform to mfg spec, but with the carbon content varying so much in steel, it is a very wise investment to get a heavier set of rolls! The specs for rolls based on gauge at a certian tensile strength of steel. If your steel has a heavier tensile, then it takes a larger set of rolls. If you buy one or two gauges up from your material max, this will increase the life of the roll, accomidate heavier tensile steel, and eliminate excess wear and tear. |

| The ratings are for mild steel, not something hardened or cast. Using something more stiff will undoubtedly be too harsh for a piece of equipment that is only rated to bend the same thickness in the mild. |

I completely agree with Clint. You never want to buy a piece of equipment and use it at its rated capacity constantly. This will cause premature wear and will cause the machine to develop problems sooner.  |
