Looking for an engineer who can make a pair of rollers for me.

Sorry to crosspost, but I got no reply from the other group.

Helllo, I am looking for a UK based engineer who can make a pair of rollers for a hand swaging machine. The rollers need to put a 12mm I/D semi-circle into flat either 0.6mm or 0.8mm thick Alumnium sheet. The rollers measure approx. 60mm x 50mm and fit onto a round, keyed shaft. I will send whoever wants the job, a pair of rollers that came with the machine, for them to copy the fixing dimensions etc. I guess the rollers will need to be hardened or possible made from Stainless Steel, I will take your advice on that. I will need a price in advance.

Please if you can do, or you know somebody who can, please contact me on the email address below, TIA.

# i think he's on about a pair of male and female rollers ..one concave ..one convex

pinched together each side of sheet of aluminium and rolled along to make semi-circular bulge ...like they have in car floor pans as strengtheners.

all the best.markj

OK, because I mentioned that it was for a hand swaging machine, I assumed it would be fairly clear (not that I knew what a swaging machine was till I knew what I was trying to achieve). The round rollers measure 50mm in diameter, and are 60 mm in length (not including the 12mm protrusions)
