- Here's a quick demo of my cheap as chips bead roller and a few ideas on some simple ways of plotting out your bead patterns onto your panels.

My names Matt Urch and I own and run Urchfab welding and fabrication.
I specialise in custom automotive fabrication from building roll cages to complete one off builds.
I built the worlds most unique and oldest drift car known as the drift rod which can be found on my channel.
So if your into grinding, welding, fabricating, drifting, going fast etc, your in the right place!
So peaceful listening to the birds in the background 👍👌
I use exactly the same bead roller and have no real issues with it. It's pretty simple to make your own custom dies and far cheaper than buying in. Mine has been converted to electric power with a motor,gearbox and control gear from an old stair lift. Paid peanuts for an unwanted old stairlift on the understanding I removed it and made the walls good. Scrapped the rest and got money back! Motor super high torque and very slow speed if needed. Works on a foot switch from a spare tig welder!
Sounds cool I'd be interested in seeing that.
@@Urchfab ive heard of people using a wiper motor from a car too.
We had a motorized beader at my fab shop. We use (mostly) 0.32 sheet aluminum for weather proofing pipe insulation in refineries.
Anyway, we had a guy who was new to the whole powered beader with foot pedal. His glove got caught in the beader, ran his thumb through and required 18 stitches.
Many factors led to it but the cover on the foot pedal was one big issue. His boot got stuck in there.
can you post any link that I can finde this bead roller ?thank you
@@defendermender4959 I used an el cheapo winch motor,with a speed control & reverse switch
Brilliant, simple, plain language introduction to making with a cheap to purchase machine. First lesson for the beginner. Thank you.
Greetings from Florida. I appreciate your instruction on the bead roller as I've got one of those "Basic" Chinese models also. I don't need an expensive professional model just to make a few panels for my 67 Ford Mustang, so a bead roller of this type fits the bill for me. I slip it into my vise when I need it then I remove it and put it aside. I'm not blessed with a large sized working area so working space is at a premium. Thanks for your videos, you've gained a new subscriber.
Awesome I get my first on marketplace hardly used .I'm a beginner. But love the craft.and it's exactly what I want
Matt, you are always building little projects so stand back and look at that roller, now think of the old singer sewing machines operated by a treadle, with your skill and know how you can operate that bead roller by foot while holding your work with both hands and looking directly onto your work. The larger wheel needed can be obtained from a washing machine or tumble dryer....Great vid by the way, keep them coming.
Very informative thank you, I have an exact same shape required and was puzzled how to do it, never knew a bead roller could do that so brilliant!
You are a great teacher. Thank you. I have bought a bead roller but have not had a chance to use it yet.
No problem, Cheers
brilliant stuff Matt, looks so professional, added strength indeed.
Great to watch a real craftman aoolying his trade. Great work.
man, how long have I been looking for the correct term for this process.
Hi Matt, I just purchased a identical machine. That would have to be one of the best how to videos showing how to use it. All I hope is I can get results half as good as yours. G'day from Australia. Cheers.
No problem, Cheers
Howdie its 2024 ya still using it or got better one l like the one ya got ya dont owe the bank for it and it seems like does the job so keep going is my saying be proud of what ya do ya got this l,m 67 yrs old still learning how to make and build things 3 heart attacks later still working on motors and building projects if ya willing to learn new things all good carry on from Canada 🍁 SK later 😊
Nice how to. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your vids.
Thanks
Thanks! I need such videos for beginners like me.
After watching this video, I feel like a professional metalworker. I know it all now.
Thanks a lot,from Salta Argentina.Congratulations
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏾
Some nice skills going on. A nice explanation on how to use the tool in conjuction with welding to preventing warping.
Cheers
Bloody hell mate, cheer up!
A smile and a bit of enthusiasm goes a long way! 😉😃
Thanks for sharing the info. As i'm learning from observing i noticed instead of leaning across to turn the handle all the way around , you weld a ratchet style handle to help. Just saying, in theory it looks like that could help
Great video I struggle to use mine tbf
Impressive result from an experienced hand, very good instructive video and a very professional look.
Very cool! Exactly the kind of video I was looking for. Thank you
Brill, Keep these vids coming. Very very well presented and simple. Would love to see on the Mk 2 escort you mentioned in another video. Thanks.
Do love your videos as well the knowledge that you share with us... Terrific... God bless you!!!
Very nice!
Hi Matt, great video content, if you were working the Bead Roller on a panel of specific size (dimensions), is there much shrinkage of the panel?
Or do you need to perform the Bead Rolling process first on the material to be used and then cut the panel to size?
Having no experience of Bead Rolling myself, I am assuming that the Bead Roller is stretching and compressing the metal as it is fed through the Rollers.
Actually I’m currently working on modifying a bead roller like that with a windshield washer motor and reinforcements on the back and a table to help increase performance
Mint bro 👌 👏 very nice
Michael Jackson - beaded.... haha thanks for the review, I am giving this a shot.. 👍 I am using diy 3 parts positioning wooden templates + dies made diy of 8mm sheet + a 12 ton shop press for all my autobody sheet metal pressing (for reinforcement) and it is hell of an overhead in my project.. not to mention it stretches the plate which I need to shrink which is almost blackmagic to apply.. So I will try this! cheers!
Matt terrific work I've got a TR6 in worse shape the mongrel hope to be able not knock it into shape
I own a similar one. I love it, but a power feed upgrade sure would be nice.
can I use this kind of machine to roll beads into round 8" ducts, to insert a gasket into a male-female joint
Exelente saludos desde Duitama Colombia
Great result. What gauge steel were you working with?
love it..jsut bought one of these...going to put a pipe threader on it with a pedal controller
Awesome 👍 Thanks for sharing the information 👍
Hi Matt,
You are right it does look way more professional and makes the finished panel look like it was factory made. I am now looking for one of these for the next part of my build which is how I found your video.
Did you ever replace it with a motorised model?
Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES
Thank You.
i want to bend the edge of square round steel tank. the corner round shape is 35 mm reduce so how to make it?
Owh... amaizing 👍👍👍🙏
Great video matt, I guess practise makes perfect for me, I bet you have used it a few times.
Yeh I've had a fair bit of practice on it. Cheers
It does look cool.
Brill vid, just bought same roller and looking for some guidance on methodology, suspect my son will be the motor for mine leaving me free to manage the business end. :)
I want one of those!
Awesome man that’s cool.
Nice👍
THANKS
Can these also bend the end of a panel to 90degrees? Ie for butting up to other panels?
Nice work!
Great vid Matt, what gauge steel were you working with?
I just got one of these. May put a wheel on it. I'm thinking that may make it easier to turn? What guage metal was that? And was it steel? Thanks man. Good vid.
Yeh wheel is a really good idea actually. That was 1mm steel, ive done 1.5 mm with no issues just a bit of flex at the end.
Cheers
Great job, thanks for posting
Buenas noches colegas Dios los bendiga y gracias por esa diseños de máquinas muy hermosos Quisiera saber las medidas de los dados esos de los de la piecita que hacen las figuras las medidas que puedo usar Muchas gracias Te hablo de Costa Rica puntarenas
What's the heaviest gauge mild steel this would handle?
Cool videos man, keep them coming
Will do, Cheers
Will do, Cheers
have you tried hooking up a sewing machine motor to it with gearing¿¿
Could you do some videos of roll cage tips please?
Nice job thanks
what's the benefit/purpose of beading?
I want to buy this bead roller.
Dang nice nice work👍❤️
Would be a fairly simple bit of fabrication to add motor and foot control to that
will these put a 90 lip on a curved panel please
Hi mate i have a manuel one wich i bought a motor for mine it was $550 australian dollar come with motor all electrics foot pedal and stand
It would take very little to motorise this onto a foot switch with a variable speed motor, much better than spending another grand.
BOMotorsport added windscreen motor to there bead roller
Thanks.
Rig up a power window motor to it. Or a flip up headlight motor.
FWD to 6:15. You're welcome.
Qual medidas dos mancais e altura da garganta da maquina
what size of your vise? No5 or No6?
I looked at those cheap rollers on ebay and wondered if they would work ok thanks for the video if you've been using it for 3 years should be good for the price wish you had shown some other beads though
They all work just as well really. Cheers
Классный станок,скинь пожалуйста мне размеры.буду очень благодарен...
Cool dude
Cheers
🎉
where can i get this machine.can shipping to malaysia ?
How do you put a bead into a rolled or curved piece?
Roll first then bead?
yeh shape it first.
Cheers man
Why don’t you change the handle to a wheel
Mate you need to make yourself a wind up handle
So, what am I doing wrong? I’ve got the same model. But the metal curves when I roll a bead.
Be aware that steel has internal stresses due to the way it is made. When sheet-steel goes through the temper-mill, the crystalline structure gets elongated, affecting its properties along and against the direction it was rolled. Forging does the same thing. From a macro-view, the material looks uniform. Etch it with acid, put it under a microscope and you can see it has some similarities to the way wood has fibers. There is a technical word for this. I can't remember it though.
@@katemoon7476 thank you, but I do know that. But I see people doing it the same way I seem to, and theirs doesn’t curve. I know that this is stretching and shrinking the metal, and that’s why this is happening. But I guess it’s just experience.
@@melgross Then just do some experimentation with your steel. Maybe anneal it first to remove the internal stresses. Good luck.
@@katemoon7476 thanks, but I’ve never heard of anyone annealing sheet metal. I’ve been working with metal fit 50 years, and that’s a new one to me.
@@melgross I've seen it done on the videos where they make motorcycle fenders. They do it to relieve the work-hardening and allow it to bend some more without the metal splitting. It isn't too common for it to be done in a shop. Another application is for when someone is building a CNC machine and you don't want any warpage. Definitely not common.
Prices this Matcheen
JESUS CHRIST GET ON WITH IT SON!
Why not just power one yourself no kit needed
Depending on what your looking to do you can find an old winch motor or a windshield motor for cheep and all you need is a 12v power supply available on Amazon for cheep
THICKNESS OF METEAL SHEET ?
yes,metal sheet,thickness is 30MM,if you want to know more info,wahsapp+8618279203788
Your skill level made that look ezier than it is I reckon, (I've got one but I'm crap with it) but neat work mate -I can't blame the friggin tool now though ! :) - mine sez its rated for 1.2mm mild, but I reckon thats pushing it , but 1.2 wouldn't really need a bead to stiffen it up??, anyway, Liked n subbed.
Cheers, Ive done 1.5 with that.
Matt check out Broke bastard garage on CZcams he has a video how to motorize your bead roller for $40
I'd say you can't beead it!
Shit. I’ve been using mine upside down I think
Not to be super Americans, but wtf how much is 3 quid
£165 without the stand
Can you please talk a bit slower? I've got nothing else to do... 😃
your cute lol
hi,beautiful,do you want to buy something?
too lengthy, start learning how to instruct, more voice tone changes to exite your public, learn to present. i fel a sleep due to lengthy explanation, how good the info is. learn to do it quicker and better.
Borrrrrrinnng....
Can't you motorize that one with a foot controlled rheostat and a gear reduction box?
Yeh ive been looking at a few people that have done that, might make a fun project.
That looks identical to the Eastwood bead roller I have. Eastwood sells a motor and controller that bolt right on.
where can i get this machine.can shipping to malaysia ?
