If a bead roller is a possibility why not get this?

You will have a much more versatile set up as this will allow you to bead panels also. I ended up getting the 36 inch Mittler with the industrial motor and love it.

Back to the question that I need to answer on whether I would use it enough to justfy the $600 price tag for the roller and die set. Right now the only thing I would use it for the forseeable future is rolling the ends of tubing as I really don't do much sheet metal work. If that JEGS roller was available it would already be ordered. Probably going to end up with the Baleigh tubing roller...

Thanks for the info guys!

Thanks to Shane at Baleigh for pointing me in the right direction.

Turns out everything I'm rolling is .065 which is over capacity for their roller so instead of selling me something that would break he pointed me to one of their competitors that sells a higher capacity product.

Downside is that now instead of $300 I'm looking at $550 including the vise mount... If you want to play... you gotta pay!
