Bead roller dies for rolling beads to pipes

thingiverse

Bead roller dies designed specifically for rolling beads onto pipes with an inner diameter of 24mm or greater. These dies are crafted to fit bead rollers featuring a shaft outer diameter of exactly 22mm. To fabricate these dies, it's essential to enlist the services of a skilled machinist who can precision-cut them from metal. Several crucial considerations must be taken into account when creating these dies: A professional machinist is required to turn out these dies from metal. The top die features chamfered inner edges; however, for optimal results, they should be rounded. A sharp edge around the bead may form if this step is not completed properly and will necessitate manual removal. I plan to update the drawing in the future. Two small holes are drilled along the side of each die, accommodating an M8 thread tap. If you're working with pipes made from materials beyond aluminum, it's advisable to harden these dies or opt for a harder material such as tool steel to ensure durability and longevity.
