Tube Bead Roller

I love the neat and compact design, no gears exposed whatsoever.

Hi Altair, the dies are not connected in any way, the process relies on friction on the inside of the tube to turn the tube. I have not yet experienced any negative issue with this arrangement but if I do I may bead blast the internal die for more grip.

I like simple machines like this one. Looks great, and I just may have to steal your idea.
