Abstract
A metal pipe forming mill progressively forms a flat metal sheet into a circular form along the mill axis by forming rolls including pairs of cage rolls. A cage-roll unit in this type of mill has a pair of movable bases disposed on both sides of the mill axis, with the space between the two movable bases being freely adjustable, and a pair of stands mounted on the movable bases, one on each. The stands rotatably support, on their surfaces facing the mill axis, two or more pairs of cage rolls, one pair following another along the mill line.
