What size panels are you trying to bead roll? What's your budget?

I do all my bead rolling with an 18" Woodward fab bead roller thats Manuel. I modified it in certain areas to make it easier. I used an old 14" steering wheel to turn it and it works great and its comfortable. I make everything from fire wall panels to Trans tunnels. You just have to plan out your project with such a small bead roller but it gets the job done. I'm going to extend the rollers to 24" or longer when I find time to get more use from it.

Eastwood now makes a new die set for this small bead roller which makes it a great value for the garage user if that's your plan.

The deciding factor for me was amount of use,price and space. In a my two car garage space is limited with the amount of tools I have.
