Lazze! That explains your attention to detail. I watch all his videos, also Jere Kirkpatrick. They do amazing work. Beautiful machine, nice demonstration.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

I’ve always been that way and intrigued with moving parts and crisp lines but paying attention to detail in this industry is key if you want to make it

[@andrel3]

@@Iconicmetalworks Makes sense why that looks like a Lazze machine!

[@Grosmeo]

Beautiful. Looks like I am going to copy your machine. Beautiful.

[@efrainwaltercruzmamani1828]

Interesante la maquina y el trabajo que realiza. Dónde puedo comprar esa máquina...?

This is a serious bead roller! We posted this vid on our homemade tools forum yesterday; nice work :)

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Thank you it’s one of my pride and joys

[@greglammers9905]

Nice work.

[@73ake]

Nice build👍

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Thank you

[@markgreen2770]

I have seen what Lazze can do and it is nothing less than spectacular. But as you title says "building" so I am interested in some of the specs that you used to build your machine, i.e. the motor, shaft diameter and lengths of the collars.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

I’ve posted another video with all the Info your needing if you have any questions please reach out to myself glad to help

[@38score17]

Very cool!!

[@cuarlosabatcardonagarro8951]

Buenas que precio tiene grscias

[@Marcussmith1240]

- Way cool stuff !

[@eugenioroncalli]

você mesmo que fabricou essa máquina ?

[@boneheadscorner8286]

Dope brother! 🤙

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Thank you

[@jamielanning2324]

Awesome build! Could you give any more info on the gears you used? Im trying to put together my small parts before the build.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

I got them at grainier I don’t know the parts number for them

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

Which model Baldor gear reducer are you using? The motor looks like a Baldor CM3538 (1/2HP, 1725RPM, 56C, TEFC,3PH, 60HZ). I was going to use a 12v, 90:1, 2 hp tarp motor with a pulse-width-modulated speed controller, but your setup looks pretty slick. I use a lot of 3-phase / VFD-controlled equipment in my shop and it may be simpler to stay with the 3-phase / VFD approach.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

I’ve posted another video with part numbers ect the gears your looking for need to be the same size as your dies that your using if that helps

[@eliwhit49]

Whats the gears you purchased from grainger they are 1" wide but how many teeth ? and inside diameters trying to find them 🤔 7/8 oid? To finish the tail section of my build. Thx Any help? Maybe a part# is useful. Or just the teeth count and gear inside diameter. Can figure out the rest.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

The id is 1” and the od of the spur gear needs to be the diameter of your dies the teeth count is Irrelevant with the potentiometer but they are 1” wide

[@kurtludwig4783]

I didn’t catch the contact name for dies and you going to come out with plans on your bead roller too

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Lazze metal shaping for the dies and I’m in the process of making blue prints of the bead roller and will have them for sale in the future

[@davemaxey4218]

You show the Baldor motor model, but that’s just for the motor. Can you tell us the rt angle drive model number? Thanks.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

The part number for the complete motor and drive is baldor GHM35060

[@ponga782]

Very nice build! What motor and drive are you using?

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Go to my channel I posted another video of the bead roller specs and it has everything your needing

[@thomwood8768]

Excellent job dude. I have been trying to figure out how to build the guides in the front with bearings and it has been driving me nuts. Can you provide any specs or pics on how you built it? Much appreciated and great job

[@Iconicmetalworks]

It would be easier if you gave me a call @661-340-9510

[@thomwood8768]

I will definitely do that. I very much appreciate it.

[@dominosgarage]

Why did you decide to go with Lazze dies (shaft size)? Because you took his class and became comfortable or because he has better, cheaper, more versatile dies?

[@Iconicmetalworks]

His dyes are more versatile and they’re already pre-keyed with a keyway we’re Mittler brothers is held on by a bolt and a washer.so there’s no chance of the die slipping on your metal with Lazze’s and his dies are specific for particular manufacturers. He also seen Cnc them himself They’re not mass produced by some other company with flaws

[@dominosgarage]

@@Iconicmetalworks good to know. Thanks.

[@user-ii8dz4vu7n]

Would you say that having the bottom die driven is necessary, or could I make my own without it and have it work in a similar way? I need a bead roller that can roll on extremely high crowns that would be nearly impossible with something other than the Mittler Bros 4in throat, but I'd prefer to use regular dies.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

No both dies need to be driven one die will not feed the material through you would have to force it maybe look and Lazze Metal shaping 2nd gen bead roller and make your own

[@user-ii8dz4vu7n]

@@Iconicmetalworks Sadly the Lazze 2nd gen is too wide. I'll probably have to use a chain drive on the bottom die. Thanks!

[@williamdavis5333]

I have AF 100 1959 looking for a good body man metal worker Few dents banged out Lil fab work In ga interest let me know need luvers in the hood

[@Iconicmetalworks]

If you can please send photos to my email at [e-mail] and photos of the damaged areas and some of your ideas of the fab work and I can give you a rough estimate we are currently booked until mid summer so if you are interested Please let me know ASAP

[@144019jans]

I’ve been thinking about building my own but my point of uncertainty is about the top shaft and the adjustment. Does the whole shaft move with the adjuster or just the end of it?

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Don’t over think it the entire shaft moves with one inch wide gears the bottom is stationary and the top one slides so when the top shaft is pulled out the top gear is riding on a 1/4 of both gears and if you shove the top shaft back all the way it rides on a 1/4 in of the both gears as wells out gives you an over all of 1/3/4 inch of travel

[@144019jans]

@@Iconicmetalworks i get that part but i mean the tension part that "squeezes" the dollies together

[@Iconicmetalworks]

It’s just a 6” long bushing with a spring connected that is locked in place on the shaft and moves with the shaft

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Hey there watch my latest video I’ve taken the bead roller apart and did a video on the top shaft specifically for you and another person who is had questions about the gears

[@mannybencomo5740]

Can you provide link to lousy metal shaping ? Thanks

[@Iconicmetalworks]

Here you go manny Lazze metal shaping

[@steveriddell1937]

I really couldn't see spending $7000.00 plus freight just shy of 10k for a lazzie bead roller when you can by and modify with adjustable top arm for 2k with copper or bearing bushes labour 1k at a retail rate.3k all up with 240v reverse foot pedal.

[@Iconicmetalworks]

I feel the same way that’s why I built my own , it took me two year to build mine but it’s identical to his there was a lot of R&D involved. The price of metal has gone up but not to the price he is charging there is more machining then anything and that gets expensive if your not doing it yourself the motor runs about $600 but all shafts are keyed and both shafts are driven he potentiometers $560 by itself sure you can use other brands but you will probably not have the torque nor the speed variance using the three phase motor the speed is not cutting the voltage where other motors cut the voltage you will lose your torque

[@steveriddell1937]

@@Iconicmetalworks thanks for the tip on the 415v motor . Yer I feel i couldn't justify the cost for our shop in Australia. Your design looks grate maybe you should look at doing a blue print and sell the plans on your site I would consider paying for your rnd in blue print

[@Iconicmetalworks]

They are actually in the work as we speak and that’s what I plan on doing is selling them to people like you that are willing to build it yourself and put your twist on it I will do a new video when I get the plans finalized stay tuned

[@danwiskow6566]

Do you have a set of plans to share or for sale?

I do not there is another video that explains how I made it along with part numbers but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions

Can you giver me more information on this roller. I'm need one but only have single phase in my shop could you help me some.

@@Iconicmetalworks I just saw Eastwood new 24" machine you can get crank or add the motor for extra but i can do a motor so much less than they want. I could make a machine like this pretty eady i think. Can you tell me what size motor you have and mainly rpm and what gear ratio is your gear box im finding them up to 6 ot 7 hp that are single phase is what i need but they ask what gearbox ration i need
