Powerful Drive System

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,

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ditch the Hand Crank I attached this to a non-Eastwood bead roller, and the motor bolted right up. The safety shield had to be modified with tin snips ever so slightly. It is a huge improvement over trying to bead roll with the hand crank.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made product. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like good quality item and will make using the roller much easier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loving the new motor Purchased the motor for my older bead roller. With slight modifications. Works amazing

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works with HF bead roller, but needs different bolts. Just installed mine, obviously better than the hand crank. I installed this on a HF bead roller and it fits perfectly. The only difference was the mounting bolts (M14 X 60), vs the M12 hardware that the kit comes with. I used 1" spacers that I made to space it perfectly. The slots for the mount did not need to be modified for the larger bolts. Motor is strong and quiet, and the speed control is perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Eastwood bead roller drive I finally talked myself into this drive unit after getting tired of struggling with a hand crank. The unit works well but my roller used 14mm bolts so I had to fabricobble different spacers and source different bolts. I did the Jere Kirkpatrick inspired adjustable top shaft and the slots in the mounting plate were long enough to work without modification.

Can this be mounted vertically

Asked by: MoMo
The motor system cannot be mounted vertical with respect to the bead roller, it must be inline as shown in the images, but I see no reason the entire bead roller and motor assembly could not be oriented vertically.
