    Reducing the width of a rectangular wire can be difficult, as the
    wire tends to turn while rolling.  To alleviate this problem hold
    the wire in a pair of parallel pliers leaving about a half inch
    protruding from the jaws.  Feed this end into the rollers until the
    jaws of the pliers make contact with the rollers.  As you continue
    to roll, allow the wire to pull from the pliers.  The force of the
    plier's jaws will keep the wire upright. Brad Simon CMBJ
