Whatsit for?
« on: January 26, 2013, 10:07:11 AM »
I have several bead rolling machines and have never seen this one before. The rollers are smooth and work size is limited to the width of the roll. Not heavy enough for wagon tires. Not tapered for barrel hoops. I don't see a way to adjust roll pressure.  Any ideas?

There is a groove on the handle side that looks like it controls the top roller for spacing, gotta be something there to adjust the height but I don't see it.

Oh,that thing? Yah honey, I clamped it to the bathroom counter to get the last of the toothpaste. Do you think I should paint it to match the wallpaper? (I'll leave the response to your imagination)
