I'm trying to reproduce a factory panel as close as I can, hence the need for the 1" bead. The marking I'm getting isn't where the male die bottoms out, it's down either side of the bead where the square shoulder digs into the metal. I will try to remember to take a photo. Getting my existing die rounded off might work, but I'm always reluctant to start messing with something that currently does the job, albeit a bit messily, if I have the option of getting another made at a reasonable cost. Just because if I make a mess of the alterations, I've gone from a messy job to no job at all. Manual Bead Rollers: Manual bead rollers are operated by crank or wheel. These are used for strengthening thin metal pieces for turning them into rigid parts. The rollers are constructed from high-quality steel and aluminum components, which makes them durable. Our manual bead roller model WFBR24M can be used to cut 16-gauge aluminum and 18-gauge steel. With the 4 spoke crank handle and the smaller size of this Bead Roller it only takes one person to easily operate and form panels. INCLUDES MOST POPULAR DIE SETS
