Outstanding! I'm going out to the shop to make some beads. Thank you for a well thought out video.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks Dan! You are so welcome!👍

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

My need for a bead roller increases with each of your videos!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Haha! I never owned one, before, and now, I can’t live without it. Of course, that’s true, with all of my tools. Tony B

[@oldguysrule-iv7sh]

[@MrConspark]

Great idea, that's a nice compact sized roller Tony

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, Stuart! It’s pretty handy.👍

[@jessejohnson159]

VERY INTERESTING! I like your idea and will modify my tools to get the results I'm looking for. Thank you! Now to watch your other video to motorize my bead roller!!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks Jesse! I appreciate your comments👍

[@zorsts]

just the video I needed!!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, friend!👍

[@Adel_Volks]

Great idea !

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thank you!

[@Georgiaguntraining]

Why didn't I think of that? Great stuff. Can stack a couple of washers for more width.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks friend! Simple, but it works.👍

[@256garage]

That's cool thanks for video.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks!

[@jeffpitzer8521]

Clever! I'm a big fan of clever.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks Jeff!

[@mccanlessdesign]

Cool - faster than my old way of welding special jaws into a set of Vise-Grips.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks! I figure, if I already have the bead roller I should let it do he work.

[@DansGarageNC]

Good tip, thanks for sharing. I don’t have a bead roller so I would have to come and use yours if I needed one, LOL.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, Dan! Anytime!👍

[@jonivanart]

Wow!! Thanks! I was just about to try to figure this out, but you did it for me! Got a new subscriber now 👍

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, Jon! I was all set to over-engineer this project, but once I started, it kind of built itself.
Good luck with your project, and thanks for subscribing!👍Tony B

[@rickm5806]

Amazing! I had to extend my bottom rad hose and looked at my bead roller and thought "if those dies were smaller I could do it right there". well duh... the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method bit me again! Thanx for the awesome tip.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Glad you liked it, Rick! Thanks for commenting. 👍

Smarter than the average man...

[@OutlawEdge]

Seen your channel on Waynes garage. Good stuff. Subbed!!! 👍

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, I appreciate that! I just looked ar your channel, and joined. Lots of interesting things you’ve got there! Tony B

[@Kevscancave]

Very interesting Tony B! I’ve never actually seen that done! Thanks for a well put together video👍

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks, Kev! Well, I needed a radiator hose extension, and this arrangement just came together. 👍

[@Kevscancave]

@@ChipsAndSparksGarage Seeing that this can take two hands to keep things lined up. It makes me appreciate the fact that you motorized the tool even more! Great Job!

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

@@Kevscancave Thanks!👍

[@ddistrbd1]

I have seen the potable type "Vibrant" brand that has a large female die and a very small male die on the bottom (for 1.1/2" tubing) but never thought it would work with my HF bead roller, thanks for the idea, I'll be copying your steps.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks! I tried using the washer, as an experiment, expecting that I would need to make something more refined. As you can see, the results were good “as is”. Simple, is good!
Thanks for commenting!👍 Tony

[@joesask857]

nice

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks!👍

[@samsontaiwo6386]

Good technology, do you have device to flare the pipe, I need that too

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Thanks Samson. When you say “flare”, do you mean to expand the pipe, so that it will slip over another pipe? If so, on large diameters, you can do that with a stepping die.
If you mean to make a true flare, or bell mouth, you can do that with a male radius for one die, and a stepping die for the other die.
Tony B

[@samsontaiwo6386]

Thank you for your quick response. The flaring is to make the edge flare out at about 45 degree. The flare is also required for safe passing of electrical cables too. Thanks for the good technology.

[@spiderbrandt4066]

I still like your work you have some very good ideas but No one is asking why would you put a bead on to a pipe ?

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Tube beading is commonly used when you’ll be fitting a hose over the tube or pipe and securing it with a hose clamp. Think of a radiator outlet, or a boost pipe on an inter cooler. When the hose is clamped on the end, it will resist being pulled past the bead. Thanks for watching and commenting, Spider! 👍Tony B

[@spiderbrandt4066]

@@ChipsAndSparksGarage Thank you for that

[@chenweingarten6093]

Hi Chen. You can buy the basic machine at Woodward Fab. I bought this one on EBay.
