Create professional quality beads in steel and aluminum sheet metal
This Eastwood bead roller has a 1/6hp 120v electric motor which makes it much easier to work large or long pieces without the help of friends. With a typical manual roller you need to crank the handle and manipulate the work piece at the same time, but not with our power roller. The reversible, infinitely variable, foot pedal control lets you control the speed and direction of the rollers, even while both hands are on the work. The 36 inch throat means you can roll a bead right down the center of a 6 foot wide panel if you want to. This professional strength bead roller will form beads, joggles and bends in steel sheet up to 16 gauge, and aluminum up to 14 gauge. This unit comes complete with dies to make a variety of shape beads and bends as well, for unlimited uses, right out of the box. The shaft size for optional die sets is 3/4" diameter.

Amazing work and talent. But, many of us who may be interested in getting into some bead rolling would like to see close ups and detailed footage of exactly the direction the roller is adjusted for certain tricks of the trade. It's more or less just watching a guy do his work.

[@adamdeuling5720]

I appreciate it. Most of beadrolling comes down to just sitting down and practicing and trying new things. I do things differently than many of my friends in the industry and you will to. So the tips are good to help you understand and then you will figure out how it works once your holding the piece of metal. Feel free to message me for any detailed info and I’d be glad to help. Sometimes it’s fun leaving a little mystery on the table for something you have spent thousands of hours of your life working on to perfect etc.

[@TrashcanGarage]

Roll your bead in stages, not all at once. Now that's useful information. I've got an EW bead roller, just waiting on the stand (backordered). Can't wait to tear into it. 🤘😎

[@adamdeuling5720]

Glad it helped boss!

[@TrashcanGarage]

@@adamdeuling5720 - thanks for the video. Took beadrolling to a level I wasn't expecting. Very cool work.

[@Rudderify]

Make your own stand…that’s what I did and you can customize it any way you want.

[@thisdj83]

I mounted my bead roller on a husky work table. It has a lever to adjust height. That way you can work sitting or standing.

[@customzdream]

Awesome work. Learnt alot from it.

[@adamdeuling5720]

Glad to help

Great job Adam!

[@mchiodox69]

Very talented gentleman

[@karenkress8775]

Very very talented wish I could do that

[@chipb8599]

Wow. Some real skill right there. Does the multiple pass technique work to stop distortion in steel sheet or will still need to pre stretch with English wheel etc?

[@joseantoniotatismunoz8625]

How much?

[@ewokgarage6357]

I'm interested in this item, can I buy this item but my location is in Indonesia

[@eastwoodco]

[@ewokgarage6357]

@@eastwoodco Sir, I have sent a message to PT Pentasada Surya, the distributor in my area, but they said they are no longer available, sir

[@mikebroom1866]

Big miss here was not including his dog. Shoutout Abom79

[@eastwoodco]

Ohhh don't you worry, we have plenty of clips of his pup!

[@twestgard2]

The dude speaks pleasantly and looks good but I coulda used a lot more close ups on the work and the tools to see what exactly he’s doing.

[@adamdeuling5720]

That’s for you to figure out boss. I’ve spent 4000 hours bent over Beadrollers in the last 6/7 years to figure out how I like to do things. I gave you a lot of great information that until recent years was kept very secret in the industry, so just hop on a roller and take the info you learned and figure out the style that works for you.

[@genegray7]

Do close-ups. I can’t see any detail. He talks about dies but you don’t show them. Show the details!!!!!

[@adamdeuling5720]

If you didn’t get tons of info and tips from the video I suggest watching again and listening to my tips. I’ve got 4000 hours bent over a beadroller to get my own style figured out. The way I do it may not work for you so hop on a machine and learn the spacing you like.

[@MoralConflict]

He is not even addressing the camera, maybe if you stood a little further away he would notice that you were trying to film him. Basics, simply the basics boys.
