Rollation for Patterns
For those of us that like making sheet metal items, but have forgotten/failed the geometry of drawing cones etc., I happened to come across this on You tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGKOPYoM4Qo
Found it rather interesting and very simple to do.
Hope this helps someone.

When I fabricated my dust cyclone I had a squiz online for cone layouts having forgotten how to do it.
Im a Luddite so can’t post a link but ‘Red bag. cone strike out’ should bring it up.
Making it at the Motorretro Vaughan used a bit of angle in the sheet rolls to skew into the cone rather than a cylinder.

It was a little larger than Ron’s so here’s a pic.
Dont think his method would be too convenient in the real world except for chambers and megaphones.Jimcracks for the rich and/or wealthy. (aka GKB '88)

That's OK for those that have CAD and understand it, NOT all of us know how to use it, or afford it.
There is this program https://www.blocklayer.com/cone-patterns.aspx that is on this Forum which is under
https://metalworkforums.com/f218/t19...ate-generators
under the subtitle Conversions and Calculations.
There is a whole plethora of template setups under that heading.
