Tube Bead Roller

Can you clarify "not connected"?
Is the only driven element the bottom die?
If you have any pictures of the top die, that would be helpful.

Great project! Thanks.

Hi Nitrous, thanks for checking out my tube beader. You are correct in that the only driven element is the bottom die.
I have taken some pictures of the upper die and other detail.

this is the backside of the die with spacer ring

this is the front side of the die, 6203 bearing

profile of the die

rear of die axle detail

front of die axle detail only the outer circlip groove is used, the inner one was a mistake.
