Forming cylinder into plate

admin

Hello, I have a steel cylinder 4’ long 24” OD and 3/16” wall sitting in the shop. I am looking for a piece of plate steel, and if I could get this flattened (essentially unrolled) it would be the perfect piece. What kind of machine shop does this kind of work?

Reply:you will probably be cheaper and farther ahead purchasing a sheet 6'x4'x .375:
Reply:Ahhh, usually it's the other way around, buy flat and roll it.     Just buy a piece of flat plate it will definitely be cheaper and you'll have a ''flat'' piece of plate.

Reply:There's a shop that has a plate roller about 25mi. from me.  They can roll it up, or roll it out,  IIRC.
