The Harbor Fright Roller---- I found one of these used thru Craigslist:
It is a good idea for tin foil, but GROSSLY under built for working on car parts. Scary Huh? SOOOOOOOO.... We added about 60 pounds of steel: I also upgraded the hardware to Grade-8 bolts. And this stand: Up and working! Waiting for final paint.
So this worked, but needs a proper wheel, as the handle BITES unless you have someone to turn the handle while you feed the steel. So here is how I started: I used a piece of conduit to check the feed and "crunch" needed to make the right sized circle. Then i fed a piece of 1" square tubing into my tubing kinker using the formula I discovered on the conduit.
So I ended up with this: After some hammering and welding it now looks like this: With a hub and some spokes it will be a perfect wheel for driving the beadroller. TA DAAAAAA!!!
The S. Stow Co. Small Bushing Edger: The case reads: PATD Nov 12 1867
The stand was off being re-welded where it had broken.
