Abstract
A forming machine adapted to form a longitudinal margin of a strip of material into a desired profile incorporates a mechanism for adjusting a lateral distance between a rail structure and the machine's drive mechanism. The adjustment mechanism comprises an elongate shaft assembly having at least a primary shaft segment and a secondary shaft segment, at least one projection shaft that extends transversely to the elongate shaft assembly, and a support frame.
