Great build, and thanks for taking time to explain the details. I couldn’t find a similar DC motor for my plate style bead roller. Ended up with a Jazzy wheelchair motor, HP DC power supplies and an Ebay controller with reverse. Still in the design stages, but your video helped a bunch. I spied an older HF bandsaw in the background and looks to be the same as one that I have. After welding up a mobile stand (little taller), new bearings, Bosch blade and over sizing the inboard jaw to 1/2” bolts, it is a whole different machine. Maybe a new video idea when you get a chance. Those rack up the view count 👍.
Thank you very much! Looks like your well on your way to greatly improving your bead roller. Really dig the resourcefulness of your parts! Yes, that tired old bandsaw is in desperate need of a tune up that’s for sure lol. Thank you for the suggestions and thank you for watching!
!! Awesome to see thanks for sharin your Project with us signed up Cause it looks easy enough to do and Build Don't need to be Rocket Scientist to build your Project so Hopefully ya got more to Show us Looks like it gets cold were ya Are too good to see we get Down here to minus 45 the Other day so its winter time Spring around the Corner ther Sayin so keep your HEAD up and stay warm toooo keep them comin from Canada SK we got this going to give it a Shot !!! Brrr chilly Nice Puppy too got one and lots of Rabbits too
I deal with some automation at the 9-5 gig. Usually 3 phase a/c motors, VFDs, PLCs, control panel stuff like that. That, and being tired of hand cranking the thing pushed me to set this machine up lol
5:35 Absolutely, I agree 100% The speed control on the motor gives you consistency and one less thing to worry about while you are handling the material. Great work on your videos and tools. Subscribed, I have 6 channel subscriptions BTW :)
Really nice job! I was wondering if a 40v dc motor from a ryobi cordless lawnmower would provide enough torque to operate this? Then a battery adapter and large capacity ryobi 40v battery could be adapted. Speed control boards are readily available on ebay for that motor. Ofcourse these batteries can also be solar charged. Again great video.
I have a similar bead roller. I powered mine with the Eastwood deal. Its ok... not totally satisfied. I am going to be adding stiffening gussets to mine. I will be doing a video on it as well. I really like your setup! I probably should have done something similar
Looking forward to seeing your bead roller setup! As soon as I acquired all the pieces I needed to power my machine, Eastwood released their motor adapter lol! Typical luck I suppose, but I kept moving forward with my plan for it. I’m sure I’ll need to brace the throat in the future to remedy the deflection.
Do you have a parts list for all of this? I’d like to recreate your exact setup but I’m clueless on all the stuff you spoke of and had a hard time navigating the website you mentioned
Can i ask you a question?? Im making my own bead roller, im from Venezuela, so is better for me making it here and import the bead dies... But i need some specific measurements, what is the diameter of the upper and lower shaft? And the diameter in the part that you put the dies, the diameter of the dies holes? My idea is to make something like the eastwood élite bead roller 27 inch... But like 36 inch, but if i screw the shaft and dies sze its going to suck really bad later, thanks
Absolutely! I turned down the shafts to fit the new Eastwood dies that are available. The dies themselves come in at .865” , that’s 21.971mm. Good luck with your build!

I don’t know how you figured all that out but it was certainly worth it. 🔥👍🏼🔥

Thank you sir, much appreciated!
Amazing job mate! I wish I had the skills to build smtgh like that, but I am scared of electricity. Cheers from Poznan (Poland)
Thank you very much!

Hi dude, awesome tool ! Have you got a motor power and reduction ratio? Thanks !

I was liking this idea till I looked up the price of the motor.
