    Chris it will do 18 go slowly with it dont try to do the complete roll one shot, you may need to feed it through and tighten it a little bit each time. my last comment got deleted not sure why? another youtuber with the same exact roller did 1.2 mm stainless it worked fine.. and I would suggest grease the drive gears and the little bushings on the top roller just a bit, and dont make a longer handle Im sure it will strip the drive gears.. all this just a suggestion of course its yours do as you please. if its compound bend feed it in on a slight angle. keep messing with it you will get it.

      I looked it up. It's 16ga. That's why I can't bend it. Every place in town sells 16 or 22. I wanted 18 or 20 but couldn't find any when I was patching the 64.
