the subject, this insightful and handy reference acts as a supplement to on-the-job-training
by presenting the fundamentals of roll tool design through theory and illustrative examples
which include detail of the design calculations. Additionally, it identifies design decisions
that are judgment calls and have no correct answers in design examples that depict certain
ideas and conceptshelping users develop a feel for the process. It is sure to be useful as a
teaching aid for setup personnel and roll form machine operators, as well as a basic reference
for tool design personnel.
