Application Tips
What is a Bead Roller?
A Bead Roller is a machine that makes rigid lines in sheet metal to make surfaces more rugged and durable while also adding style and improving appearance. The lines bead rollers add to sheet metal prevent warping and disfigurement by adding structural integrity to the metal. Bead rollers also can be used in an artistic and creative form by allowing metalworkers to create unique designs and patterns on metal.
Bead rollers are typically available in small hand-crank units or in larger electrically powered machines. Both styles can be used to create channels, flanges, beads and artistic shapes. Additional dies can be used for tipping, rounding or even crowning sheet metal like an English Wheel.
