Bead rolling

Post by tnowak » Wed Aug 31, 2011 8:20 am

Does anyone know of an engineering/ fabrication shop in the south of England that can do bead rolling? Or, do you have a bead roller? Looking to roll a few beads in 0.032" aluminium sheet this winter.

I've got an edge bead roller but if you want to do middles of sheets then there are some cheapies on ebay. Here is mine in action...
