Eastwood.com.

But I agree with Boostaholic. We rolled some welding rod and silver-soldered it on. Very clean and strong, and cheap!

I also had a weld put on my throttle body, the only thing that has blown apart is blowing my IAT out.

If you plan on doing them for your neighborhood.

Harborfreight sells a tool. Anywhere from $100 to $200 depending on if you catch it on sale, and which sale. I don't have the item number handy, but can look for it this evening if you're interested. (might even have the code number for a $100 sale too, if it's not expired yet)

Some of the cheaper bead rollers are for sheet metal, not pipe.
About the cheapest for pipe is $400.00 and can go way up from there.
This co. sells a few.

I understand the cheaper beand rollers not working with mild or stainless very well, but wouldnt they do ok for aluminum if thay are rated to work with something of that thickness?

The eastwood one seems to be priced the best, if it will work. I am also local to a harbor frieght, so I will check into that option. Thanks

What I'm saying is that some bead rollers are just for sheet metal, not pipe.
I have looked a good bit since I always have pipe to bead roll.
Ones like this

are for sheet metal.
Others are for pipe.
