II. BASIC TOOLING INFORMATION
This section is intended to acquaint you with the uses and limitations of the Mate’s Roller Solutions. Please read all
instructions carefully before operating this tool.
A. Material Thickness
1. With the exception of the Rolling Pincher, Mate’s Roller Solution tools are designed for use with a specific
material thickness.
2. The material thickness range for Mate Roller Solutions:
Minimum material thickness = 0.8mm
Maximum material thickness = 2.3mm in Aluminium
2.0mm in Mild Steel
1.5mm in Stainless Steel
3. The Rolling Shear tool cannot cut material thicker than what it was ordered for. Both the upper and lower
wheel assemblies must be replaced for use on thicker materials. To run thinner material than what the tool was
originally designed for, first run the tool in the thinner material and determine if the results are acceptable. If
the results are not acceptable, both the upper and lower wheel assemblies must be replaced. (Please follow the
instructions provided in Assembly / Disassembly)
4. The Rolling Rib and Rolling Offset tools can be used on thicker materials, but the results may not be satisfactory.
5. The Rolling Pincher tool can be used on any of the above listed materials.

matched sets. Do not interchange punch and die assemblies from multiple Rolling Shear tools.
