Baileigh or Mittler bead roller
 

I've been looking into bead rollers and have narrowed it down to Mittler or Baileigh. Does anyone here have experience with both? If so do you have a prefrence? I'm looking at the 24 or 36 models.

I have a Mitler's Bros. 24" bead roller.Awesome machine.Wish it was a 36 w/HD.motor so I could roll 16ga.:thumbsup:

I have the 36" Mittler Bros Bead Roller with the 4" throat:unibrow:. Its one if the best tools I've purchased! You can't go wrong with Mittler Bros.. Plus its made in the US.

we have Gregs Mittler bro's bead roller at the shop, great tool and does 16g no problem.....this Baileigh unit looks good though.... might be worth the extra money

warning turn your sound down

Is it motor strength that will not allow you to do 16 ga. or deflection?

Yes I saw the new baileigh and was drooling over it. Unfortunately it's out of my price range. Which mittler are you using for 16 ga. ?

its an $800 upgrade part number 200-300

Reviving an old thread looking for bead roller info...

I'm looking for something mostly for putting a bead on the end of tubing. Anyone have anything special they would recommend?
