custom HF bead roller dies... interest?

Need tipping dies and louver dies for my heavily modified HF roller. [email protected] when you get them ready.

 

I used a quick release steering wheel adapter from Bicknell Racing Products. Works great and I move the steering wheel from machine to machine

 

I want one for ford beads like on the bottom edge of 34 ford truck doors and sides.
And i have the harbor freight roller already how convenient. Let me know or i will keep following this.

 

Fiddy, has anyone sent you body bead profiles, i.e. 32 or 33/34 Ford beltline beads or lower body beads? If so, are you offering these?

Thanks,
Steve

 

I have the same question as above ^^^^^^

 

fiddy. still have tipping dies available?

 

I want some too......................

they still available?

 

still available?

 

I would also like a set of tipping dies for my modified Woodward Fab unit. Let me know how to get them.

I also believe that the Eastwood, Harbor Freight, and Woodward Fab units come out of the same plant in China. I purchased an Eastwood unit and had to send it back, one of the shafts was bent. I sent it back, but not before getting my Woodward fab unit. Guess what? when comparing the "made in China" boxes of the two bead rollers, they both had a 10-12 digit part number that was identical except for the last two digits.

 

I was just thinking about these dies a couple of days ago?...weird...I still need some.

 

Still waiting to hear if these are available??

 

Hi Fiddy.Best of luck to you and yours.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

See the 'Custom bead Dies' listing here, top quality stuff
http://www.hoosierprofiles.com/bead-dies-.html

 

YES! wide floor bead dies, as well as the original tipping dies, and custom bead profiles available upon request.

my quality will beat any hoosier set you'll find.

also, email [email protected] for custom machined replacement part for any of your rare or unobtanium parts needs. 50's ford 2" drop and disc brake spindles, cavalier R&P steering kits... skies the limit

 

Good old KMS.

 

Yes but if you search you will find details on how I beefed up my bead roller and fitted it with a reversable motor that’s controlled by a foot pedal

 

How did you beef it up? Pics. My roller is from "the Princess". I got a set of extra Eastwood fancy dancy dies at a great price from KMS last January but could use a die to make the flange bead on '32 fenders where the wire goes. My son is converting my bead roller to electric using the motor and controls from a treadmill. Will add the foot pedal. For DC motors those treadmills are great and people give them away on Craigslist all the time.

 

And, a couple more action shots.

 

Great pics and fabbing. My roller is a little different. Got it when Princess was unloading them for $100.

 

I noticed that Harbor Freight online isn't showing their bead roller as available, and when I went to their nearby store yesterday, there were none on display. I didn't ask whether they discontinued them, but wondered if anyone has noticed this, too.

 

Put me down for tipping dies!

 

for those looking for bead rollers, HF does NOT carry them any longer.

here are links to find the exact same roller that is going to need the same mods to beef them up as the HF.

Thanks, FiddyFour. Answers that question, and offers us better sources.

 

If anyone is interested, I just ordered a new Woodward WFBR6 bead roller for $113! Found it on J&B tools. Great price and free shipping to boot And no, I'm not associated with them at all, just passing along a good deal.

I also obtain, modify and re-sell used and new chinese bead rollers, as well as modify and rebuild yours if you so choose!

PM for price and availability!

 

Word was that they were going to discontinue the English wheel but I didn't see anything about the bead roller. I bought their floor model English wheel in Yakima at a steep discount and then went back and bought the extra rollers that they didn't know they had. They show the English wheel and bead roller in the catalog so maybe they quit stocking them in stores as they probably didn't sell a lot of them in any one store but one might be able to order it.
I bought and Eastwood Bead roller a while back when they had a sale on them. Haven't pulled it out of the box yet.
