Motorizing a Bead Roller

[C-Bag]

While I am not a fabricator by trade my bead roller with the winch motor has done everything I've asked of it for the past several years without complaint. The load on the motor is minuscule compared to what it was designed for and it only runs for short periods of time. Meanwhile, during the same time period I've had several electric drills burn out using them for their designed purpose.
This is a simple way of motorizing a bead roller that worked very well for me. If someone wants to make it more complicated with gearboxes and/or belt reductions, fill your boots.

I hope I'm not over thinking this but we are not discounting your solution, merely chipping in on a thread that was meant to give the OP several options. When somebody asks for help it is our way here to let ideas flow. When the pipe threader was mentioned i thought I'd chip in my experience. The "real" pipe threader can be upwards of $1500 and I've never seen one used. I only bumbled on to the HFT version and thought I'd pass it on. It also like most HFT's was a crap shoot quality wise and was lucky to be running it myself when it had a minor failure. I was able to turn it off before it hand grenaded and was able to fix it. I loaned the rig to my neighbor for a week and if it would have happened to him I doubt he would have caught it. So nothing is perfect, we are just trying to be helpful.
