Looking at the way you have to pre-crease the corner, I would say the rollers are configured like this:20FC5D1A-0020-406E-BA38-1A29819B76B9.jpeg
I had a Shorte flanger some years ago and it was the same as in the photo but some have parallel rollers, others have tapered ones.

Thank you Gareth
I presume that top piece pivots down ? with pedal?
I am also curious if other machines do it different
this is all because I am intrigued by machine and am interested in building one to play with [ I can not justify buying ] and as usual would like to try not to reinvent the wheel also would like to push material thickness up

Ken, sorry, I don’t know how the one in photo operates as the one I had was manually adjusted in with a bolt. I never really did anything with it as it was one of those machines I bought cheap and thought it would be useful but never found a job for it. From what I’ve seen, they’re pretty crude machines so I’m not sure you’ll find one that has a pedal mechanism. I’m surprised you can’t find one cheap as there’s always a load of them a available on auction sites here in the UK.
