BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Look up a PEXTO beading machine.But what you show is more of a rolled wire edge. They make hand crank machines for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 if you need to do it by hand and do not have access to a beader may I commend to your attention armourarchive.org as rolling edges on things like arm armour does come up from time to time. Do mention your intended use and don't mention "Blankenshield" (an abrasive fellow who advocated rolling *ALL* edges all the time...even against the documented proof of places they were not used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KpdRetired Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Too late now, but Northern Tool has a Bead Roller setup for about $160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Too late now, but Northern Tool has a Bead Roller setup for about $160And there are some youtube videos on how to take those chinese problematic bead rollers and beef them up so they actually work well. Just checked the original photo and it's not a standard bead-roller type of job--rolled wire edge. That's a different animal.

Jim Coke Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Greetings Dave,Stainless is a whole different thing when it comes to edge or bead rolling. You will find that it does not form well especially in a circle. Test bend your stock before you purchase a roller.. Just my 2c . Forge on and make beautiful thingsJim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
