Re: bead form tool needed
we have the hf one and then we bought an electric one, ended up getting rid of the elctric one.
way more control with the manual ones and i think they do 10 times better of a job.
we usually just use ours for tin work for tube chassis cars, but have did osme 16g ic tubes as well.

Re: bead form tool needed
I have the 18in bead roller for doing sheet metal it will do a bead on piping but it will be alot cleaner and faster with the bead form but I thought I would check to see if anyone was selling one befor I spent 4xx on one. But thanks for all the info guys.

Re: bead form tool needed
Those harbor freight ones look pretty simple except for the dies. If I were to make the dies on a lathe, what kind of steel would I need to use, and would they need to be heat treated?
I know it's probably more cost effective to buy them, but I want to learn to use the lathe and this seems like a pretty simple project to start with.

Re: bead form tool needed
I bought the HF one years ago and just Mig'd on a triangulated brace out of square tube. It works fine.
There are a couple of threads on this mod on the metalmeet forums.
