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.

Can I get this with an inch and a half crimper too for the end?

Asked by: Copperman
Currently, Eastwood does not offer a 1.5-inch crimper die for the Metal Bead Roller with Dies. The available dies and accessories for the bead roller include a variety of fabrication and forming dies, but a 1.5-inch crimper is not listed among them

Where is this unit produced. I noticed everything is metric. I'm assuming it's not USA built.

Asked by: Mods and Rods
This is produced in the same location as MOST all the others. It just has an Eastwood paint scheme.

I can’t justify motorizing a bead roller, but I am wondering how possible it is to form a straight bead if working alone?  Thank you!

Asked by: Rhoadsrunner
Its possible, but much better easier to have a friend, your wife, your kid, and maybe your dog crank while you guide the metal.

Why does the 27" bead roller not have grease fittings on shaft blocks like the cheaper models?

Asked by: mike
The Eastwood Elite 27" Bead Roller (21327) utilizes press-in bushings in the shaft blocks that do not require regular greasing. It is recommended to oil the bushing periodically with a machine oil such as 3in1 oil or sewing machine oil. Slowly turning the handle while applying the oil will draw it into the shaft blocks. You should also periodically grease the drive gears with a medium bodied grease.
