Roll trim components (4.1 hrs)
I’m getting a little out of sequence here, but I had promised my friend Wade I’d be making him two of the roll trim components.
The process was pretty straight forward, if not for the fact that I had to work with 0.049” (1.25 mm) thick 4130 steel, instead of the usual aluminum.
