i just want to say this is the very best I have seen on youtube. everyone else is using a hard to find motor that is not easily available. yours is easy to find....and cheap! your installation also looks the best.
@Rob Ardy , I got mine up & love how it works. Thanks for the help & detailed instructions you gave. I'm so glad I seen your video's before I did the drill, chain & sprocket type I've seen other youtuber's do. Now I can finish up the section of sheet metal in my trunk where it meets up with my tail light panel. The 1 peice no one in the aftermarket re-pops.
@@rdspeedfab Any idea how to move the speed control to the food pedal? In other words, the motor speed depends on how much you press down on the pedal. Does that require a specific style of pedal?
Can you tell me how you did the interface between the winch motor and the bead roller shaft? I am making my bead roller just like yours and that is the only thing that stumps me. Thank you for sharing your modifications.
Daaaang!!! Thanks brother! Feel free to share it! Also check the other vid on the bead roller. It’s a little dry but I go into more detail on it. Thanks again man!
@@rdspeedfab I watched it. My first TH-cam comment and we are probably close to the same age haha. I was getting ready to mod the Fak out of the bead roller and stumble across this. I ordered everything lol. Thanks. Ever think about adding a table for larger pieces?
Rob! I wanted to say this is THE BEST conversion to a motorized bead roller I've ever seen! I will be doing this to my Eastwood bead roller. Quick background. I have a passion for '56 and '57 Ford cars since Dad purchased a used wagon in 1957. I started a restoration on that wagon in 1968 after purchasing it. I took it to a body shop 'I trusted', telling them to replace all the rust. When I got it back, I found the rust was covered in masking tape and body filler! 🤬 I started learning welding and panel fabrication but a draft notice in 1969 changed my plans. I enlisted and ended up staying for 20, retiring as an M-1 Tank Motor Sergeant. During that 20 I continued learning panel fabrication, welding, etc. So, I still do all kinds of rust repair and panel fabrication but don't have the expendable income to pay 'big bucks' when I have the fabrication and welding skills to make almost all the items I've wanted. This video and your parts list gave me items I've been looking for to upgrade a bead roller I've had for 35+ years! THANKS! 😎😎😍
@@rdspeedfab thanks for the reply. Great build. Just got my Eastwood roller and definitely going to start purchasing the electric part of it. Thinking of using the foot pedal to "make" the output of the PWM to the motor. That was you dont have the on/off of all the components, only the drive motor. Great build by the way!
Excellent Video. Im a little confused on the power supply. You said you used a 20amp then in another comment you said you matched it to the speed controller at 60amps. Can you clear this up? Thanks!
@@rdspeedfab No problem. I'm ordering things right now. Maybe next to your links label the items.. Such as "60 amp power supply" "13x13 box". This would help because the amazon links keep changing to different items. Thanks again.
I need to update those links. I haven’t looked at them in a while. I’ll definitely do that. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Good luck with the build and I hope it makes your tool more useable!
Do the amps matter? I am looking at building this for my bead roller, but I noticed that the power supply is 20 amps while the motor requires 106 amps at full load.
They keep changing the destination for my link. It’s supposed to be a 60 amp. I just matched it with the speed controller. I’ll put up a new link. Good catch.
very interested in seeing how well this is working out for you. Thinking about do the same to a large bead roller I am building. Have you done any large panels with it.
It’s been working great! A couple other guys have followed my design and been pretty successful with their builds as well. The limiting factor is obviously the throat depth but it’s plenty large for anything I do. I plan on doing some door panels with it soon but as of now I haven’t done any large panels. Thanks for watching!
thanks for the quick reply. You by far have the best detailed help out there that I have found. I all ready have the winch motor so I will order the other parts from amazon. I had a HF roller but decided to build a larger one. Here is the one I build so far. facebook.com/photo?fbid=10158060413538601&set=pcb.10158060417068601
Great video. Does your bead roller move the stand? I am working on building a stand now and thinking of putting locking wheels on it so I can move it around the shop.
Awesome job. You didn't mention if the reverse switch came with the winch or wich exact winch model you got. Those would be helpful. Again you did an awesome job,i will be duplicating it soon. Also would like to see it run at full speed. Thank you for sharing this with us. Even the Jamey and mittle ones bogg down when you torque them down on 18 guage. Bet that winch motor doesn't.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The winch doesn’t really bog down at all with thicker material. As for the reverse switch, it came with the speed controller. I did a dedicated video on the electro is as well. Check that out and hopefully it can answer in questions. Thanks and please consider subscribing!
Hey Rob, great build!!! My power 12 v supply is 12v-20a. Doesn’t seem powerful enough. Do you remember what your 12 output numbers were. Again great build! Regards Tony
Do you have any pics of what and how you attached the motor to the bead rollor bottom shaft?? Thats where im stuck..did you weld it or make a coupling of some sort?? Thanks.
Check my playlists. There are several videos on building it. Links to parts etc. even a video just about the wiring. All the info you need is there. Hope it helps

J Dimeo yeah you would need a pedal with a potentiometer in it. Very doable though
@@rdspeedfab Thanks!

The box in the Amazon link is massive. Not the same box you purchased. I measured the controls and found a box to suit.

Which winch did you use? I see there are a handful on HF now. Your link below doesnt work now. Thnaks in advance!
I believe it was the 2k winch.

Do u have a link to the motor you used

A copy of the DXF for the motor mount would be nice you if can. will save some time
Thanks

I can do that. Let me find a place to host it.
@@rdspeedfab Try Plasmaspider.com its a great site for this kind of thing
Would like the link for motor mount can't find it anywhere thanks
Where did you get the foot pedal
I mention it in one of the videos in the playlist. I found it at the junkyard lol
Great video. Does your bead roller move the stand? I am working on building a stand now and thinking of putting locking wheels on it so I can move it around the shop.
No but that’s a great idea! I roll it around since it’s on that brake drum. Just tilt and roll.

Yooo!! you did an outstanding job! do you have a wiring diagram?
Hey thank you! I don’t have one but I can put something together. I won’t be able to get to it until next week. I’m working this week.

Hey Rob, great build!!! My power 12 v supply is 12v-20a. Doesn’t seem powerful enough. Do you remember what your 12 output numbers were. Again great build! Regards Tony
Just verified. 20 amp power supply is what I used
How did you get the atv motor to attach to the bead roller
I built an adapter plate that picks up the bolt locations on the bead roller and the winch motor.
Michael, I’ll be posting a video today with more information on the mount plate.
Awesome, be looking for it
Do you have any pics of what and how you attached the motor to the bead rollor bottom shaft?? Thats where im stuck..did you weld it or make a coupling of some sort?? Thanks.
The winch has a splined input shaft. I removed the splined output shaft from the reel that cam with the winch and welded it to the lower roller.
Thanks for the reply...exactly what winch did you use from h.f...?? Thanks again for the help.
@@joemcclure2747 no problem! Badland 2500lb ATV winch. Looks like the price went up as it’s now $69
nothing cheap like that up in Canada, 1500lb starts at $150@@rdspeedfab
@bjlanders dang that’s too bad! I’m sure the price has gone up down here too. Things are crazy right now.
How fast does a bead roller have to run
Not fast at all. I know some guys who are one speed and it’s sloooooow.
Good update.
Thanks!
put a fan on it the power supply will burn up it needs air.
Yeah I never thought of that. It’s been in there for years now with zero issues. But it wouldn’t hurt
Badass
Thank you!
you tell nothing about motorizing it,
