I used our Pexto rotary machine set up with what we call turning rolls. If I was looking for a sharper bend I would have used burring rolls. I hope this helps, cheers.
Pittsburgh, no fun! Starting part, setting the cap into the pocket is ok but the finishing part can be challenging and is often a bit large or small :(
There's always a way but it can be done. You can turn a flange on the collar using vice grips and a nut, I demoed that in a tips and tricks video way back. Just need patience lol.
i used my easy edger to turn my 3/16 on collar and use my roller that has indents so i can roll a peice with a 90 on it and then pop rivit the color and finish beating it togeather if that makes sense@@sheetmetalwork
@@dennisyoung4631 I would go with 26 or 24 gauge Satin Coat Galv. I used this metal for some of my other videos, check out. Rain Cap or 1 pc metal box and some others

3:04 , Is that a tipping die or a flange die to create that angle? Thank you your videos are top notch!

Awesome! Thank you so much, always like these videos they are great!
Is there a way to do this without the flanging machines? I have a 10' shear, box and pan break, smaller cutting tools, and 10' break at my disposal...
Bro I gotta make these with a Pittsburgh machine it’s a pain in my ass

Could a single manual easy edger machine cover this whole process? I'm looking to upgrade from just a hammer.
a rotary easy edger will definitely turn a 3/16” on the circular disc/cap. But, It won’t turn an edge on the collar. I hope I explained it ok?

What Gauge and material? (Looks like galvanized. Guessing 24-26 gauge.)
You are right Dennis ☑️ 26 g Galv iron.
@@sheetmetalwork thanks. Wondering about a similar material - of thicker gauge - to make boxes and sorting trays.

@@sheetmetalwork 26g is a bit too light we use 24g in NZ
I am copying this video of yours
