Randy,
I had to do that yesterday...
Made a large ogee fitting.
Ran 'em through the machine and realized very quick that I didn't form my wrappers in the flat first... Oops.
took some 24 ga strips, plugged them into the grooves and it worked fine, except it took a few extra minutes.
My shop foreman showed me that trick... Forming, wrappers, cheeks and throats in the flat first before doing the locks.
The pittsburg machine will flatten the sheet again but there is some memory of the bend forming left in there, 'cause they go back into the bend with little effort.
