Harbor Freight Bead Roller
While I'd love to have a name-brand bead roller, along with tipping and radius dies, all we could afford was the HF roller. I've seen several mod pages for it, and have a few ideas how to strengthen it up.
Does anyone make radius dies for the HF roller? Or tipping dies? Can someone make some? If so, how much? |

Hoosier Pattern used to make tipping wheels for the HF roller. You might want to give them a call (info should be in the resources list).
I just made one from a bushing, a fender washer, and some JB weld to hold it together. The soft wheel on the bottom was cut from a rubber coated shaft. Looks like it was from some sort of conveyor. 100_5245.jpg 100_5246.jpg

Haha, that set of tipping wheels cost almost as much as the bead roller itself! I think I am gonna try to see if I can make one rather than buy them! This is not a cheap hobby lol!

Don't have a picture right now, but you can get a set screw collar at Tractor Supply and weld a big washer to it and make your own. I made one years ago and use it several times a week. You can use a skateboard wheel for the lower or I find that one of the flats on a flangeing wheel works fine.
