Nice! I was going to suggest a VFD but you beat me to the punch. I converted my 2x72 to three phase and went with a VFD and haven't looked back. Supposedly you don't loose motor power with a VFD like you do with a dc motor controller. I'm sure the setup you are suggesting is perfectly fine since it is specifically made for the job. Really awesome video If I ever decide to make one it looks extremely simple and your explanation of its construction gave great insight to building one myself.

Very nice build, would just like to mention that your gears do not have to match the size of your beadrollers.

Karl, Yes love your bead roller and with that I've been doing so study on the dies and their bore sizes. Anyhoo, Out here the only company that has bead rollers (Chinese crap) they have the 7/8" (22mm) bore size but a small amount of dies compared to with what I can get out of the US. So I looked at several brands Mittler Bros, Eastwoods (powered units), Lazze and Covell. I tried to see what harbor freight had but its not easy. All these have a shaft size of 3/4" (19mm) with a threaded bolt in the end of the shaft. So just curios what brand was the one you had. I know doesn't matter 3/4" (19) turn down will do. Oh may I ask? You stated that the end plates are 2" (50mm) x 3/4" (19mm) but what length are they??? From photos taken from stills of the video it looks like they are 2 5/32 (55mm). Am I close????

@@MakeItKustom Yes I've looked at the 18" models from Eastwoods. That's the only small USA model we can get here. But they are only manual models and have a 22mm (7/8") shaft size and to buy wheels for them are rare and hard to get. Also the one real company here that sells panel tooling sells Chinese stuff oh and Baileigh too but who has $10K+ for each tool. The Australian sold tooling, each set of wheels are $240 AUD ($169ishUSD) were as I can but sets of 18/22 wheel kits for $1600ish USD. But its how to lock them to the shaft is what I'm curious of. Round shafts no back stops, no key ways and just a 3/8 bolt with a compound washer holding it on. What stops the wheel walking up the shaft??? On mine I'm thinking of turning my shaft to 19mm (3/4") for a length of 125mm (5') with a keyway and then get a block turned up with a 19mm (3/4") bore with two grub screws and use that as a back stop. With this set up I can lock any wheel in place adjust either top or bottom wheel with using spacing on the front side to suit individual patterns needed. Just my thoughts. Out here, (Worst than Canada) we have no real panel tool sales other than one brand every think comes out of the USA with shipping costs, taxes the costs are thru the roof so its fun to build by photos and phone conversations. I'm lucky I've found a great importer that are cheap on freight but that taxes add to the costs. I priced up a SCT sander out of Eastwoods (Yes I found the loop pole with Eastwoods to buy and ship internationally). But I had quotes of $500 t0 700 just to ship. So I spoke to this importer I found and he shipped it to his shop for $70. So as he has a shop in Long Beach that's who I use now. I could go on with shipping costs but metal is clay!!!! A price/quote on a set of sweep sticks out of Nebraska. They cost $374 USD to buy and I was quoted $300 to freight, but free freight to Long Beach and only $70 odd dollars to here. Freight to us is a killer. So this is why I building (with drawings to) here and the bead roller is one of many I'm building. Plannishing hammer both hand held (I've got yours half built - hope you don't mind) and floor mount (copying the24" proline unit), English wheels ( bought plans Proshaper unit), panel rollers (copying Gene Winfield unit), deepthroat shrinker and stretcher (copying a Stakeby's unit) and a gathering press (a Proshaper tool). As I said we can only get one or two brands here so if you want good tools you have to make them. And I just can't afford to but them outright but being unemployed I got the time and contact to material, so. Things we do for our toys and new builds. Keep making the great videos they are informative and I love seeing what others do for great rides. Hey its all fun.
