At this point we need to hem the flange so the bottom isn't quite so sharp..

A 1/2 x 1/2 aluminum angle is used as a height gauge so we can use the roloc sander to get our flange to a consistent height. This will allow us to use a tipping die in the bead roller to fold the hem..

Then the part is re-installed in the hammer form to hammer the hem flat..
