I am forming some rocker panels and just need a gentle curve, preferably in a 60" long piece of .063 aluminum. I have built them in 30" sections using my wheel, but the wheel just doesn't produce a nice straight uniform curve. I used to have one of those Jet universal shear/brake/roller thingies but the gears got messed up and I was tired of having that 300 lb lump so I got rid of it. I'm really looking for someone with an industrial sized one that won't have a lot of distortion in it, the little JET/HF style ones still leave a lot of distortion in it, ie the center is not rolled as tight as the ends.
I figured if I brought in the blanks it wouldn't take a shop more than an (or 15 minutes) to roll to my template. I don't know any high end rod fab shops so I was just looking at sheet metal fabricators on the web there are a few around like JIT manufacturing, Allied Sheet metal fabricators, Acurate Sheet metal Inc. but of course these are all big industrial job shops. I will be calling some of them on Monday but just looking for suggestions on what would be easiest for them and me , preferably close to Kirkland. 60" wide woudl be nice but I don't mind doing the 30" sections as long as its a heavy duty machine that will produce a "straight" roll.
