Working on a powered bead roller
After searching on the internet I have found many have started with the HF or Eastwood bead roller as the starting point for building a power bead roller. This is becasue the hand cranked version is hard to use and it still had some flex.
Side supports before welding
Some welds, I made 3 passes most times - got decent penetration
Welding the 1/4 angle stock is to keep the two parts from moving back and froth.
So I now need to mount the frame to the stand and the remount the shafts so I can place the pulley on the top and mount the low speed drill. I figured it will have around a max speed of 50 to 60 rpm - might be too slow but I suspose I can always add a larger pulley to the drill.
