Default 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.

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. ?

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?
