One Man Operation
With the Eastwood Bead Roller Power Drive System, it no longer takes two people to fabricate a metal panel. The Drive System features a 3 Position Toggle Switch with an infinitely variable Speed Controller and Foot Switch. These features provide convenient one-person operate.


Powerful Drive System
The Eastwood Bead Roller Drive System features a powerful 1.65-amp motor with an integral 75:1 gear reduction that enables you to easily forms ½” beads in 18-gauge steel. Unlike other motors on the market, the Eastwood Drive System has a durable industrial style motor, which gives you more power then you need.
Fits All Current Eastwood Bead Rollers
Eastwood designed this power drive system to fit all Eastwood Bead Rollers and others with a plate steel frame and 50mm bearing block bolt pattern. Installation takes less than 30 minutes.


Universal Design To Fit Other Bead Rollers
The drive motor fits any hand crank bead roller with a standard shaft size, which is 25mm at the crank handle. The shaft is usually smaller where the dies attach (often 22mm).
The 1/6-horsepower electric motor and three-position toggle switch replaces the hand crank. Use the infinite Speed Control dial to set the exact rate for your forming project. It comes with a footswitch to operate the drive system, leaving both hands free to control sheets and parts.
The Eastwood Universal Bead Roller Drive turns what once were two-man projects into a solo operation. It can form bends and channels in up to 18-gauge steel just like if you were using the original hand crank while running off ordinary household current. Installation takes less than 30 minutes. If you want to switch back to manual operation, that’s easy,
