The body parts are machined from high grade aluminium and anodised for a tough finish and appearance.
The primary drive shaft is heat treated carbon steel and the rollers are case hardened for long life.
There are 2 versions of the tool.
Our standard model will bead 16 swg aluminium and copper pipes ranging from 10mm id upwards.
Our Bead ST model has been designed specifically to bead 16swg stainless steel seamless or welded tube.
It differs from our standard bead tool in that
- The main shaft is much larger diameter giving us the strength we need to handle stainless steel.
- The body is larger allowing the bearings to be placed further apart increasing rigidly.
- The shaft bearings are much larger in diameter and longer.
The tool will fit any size tube with an internal bore larger than 15mm.
An elegant design, simple to operate, an extremely reliable useful tool.
