A table top for the bead roller is a definite plus!! Makes them a whole lot easier to accurately follow a line... The corner setup should work good, Pro!!!!

Thanks Dave. Sounds like I'll be buildin' a table.

Gary, you might also design in a fence to help maintain spacing. Comes in handy on some rolls.

Thanks Uncle Bob. Good idea. Do you (or anybody) havve pictures of a bead roller with a table & fence?

Here's one intended to be attached to the frame of the roller, but no reason you couldn't incorporate one on your table something like the fence on a router table: http://www.eastwood.com/metal-fabric...ustable-1.html

Here's a pic of it in action: http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/.../photo_11.html

Thanks Uncle Bob.

I welded up the welding table tonight. I cut the supplies kinda' close. I have 1/2 pc. of filler rod left, 20 PSI of argon in the second tank & the 20''x20'' table top was the biggest pc. I could get out of what's left of a 4'x4'x3/16'' sheet of steel. 20''x20'' is small, but it's a bigger surface than I've been using & a whole lot more stable.



Bracing under the table. Gettin' low on that stuff too, but I got er' done.
