Made of rigid steel, this bead roller combines all the best features in one package. It offers a quick-release top die, adjustable shaft, variable-speed pedal, depth stops, and more.
- Made in the USA.
- 16 gauge mild steel maximum capacity.
- 36" throat depth enables you to work on the middle of large panels.
- Industrial .5 hp motor runs on 110-volt power. Plug it into any household outlet.
- Both rolls are driven. Chain drive on the top roll prevents slippage.
- Variable-speed foot pedal lets you slow down your feed rate for more delicate work.
- You can change the RPM of the rolls in real time by turning the dial on the side or lock the rolls at a constant speed.
- Rollers can run forward or in reverse, so you can go over a pattern as needed.
- Left- and right-hand controls are the same on both sides of the machine.
- Adjust the forming depth by turning a hand wheel just above the working area.
- Quick-release top die can open and close without altering the depth pressure.
- You can begin or end a design in the middle of the panel and not worry if the depth is set correctly.
- Depth stop allows you to easily make straight, repeable beads.
- Comes standard with a ¼" round bead tooling set and a .05" step roll set.
- Shaft is compatible with standard tooling. You could reuse rolls from another brand.

- Bottom die can slide in or out, so you can create custom profiles by varying the offset.
