Anyone have a Bead Form Tool?

Looking to get a few beads rolled on I/C pipes I will be making. Seeing if anyone has something that will roll the beads. I have a company that makes a tool specifically for doing this, but it cost around $420 for it. Does anyone have one of these tools? I will be more than happy to throw some $$ to anyone that will let me use their machine.

why not just weld a bead around the circumference of the ppe?

 

make your own??

Bead Roller

 

make one out of vice grips.

 

If I had access to a lathe to cut the 2X1 steel discs then I would make my own

 

is it for preventing hose from slipping of?
if so
a flaring tool will work

 

Wouldn't most exhaust shops have that?

 

The vise grip trick is the best for DIY, I have a bead roller but may be to big for IC piping

 

T bolt clamp and be done with it.

 

And you will end up cracking the aluminum like your old compressor housing cover. Get a bead....do it right.:wiggle:
