Brilliant idea... I just bought the same bead roller a few weeks ago & was wondering how to motorized it..... I'm stealing your idea 😂😂😂
That's what youtube is for!! Get some ideas, make it better!
The gear is 12-spline…and fits a 3/4” socket. So, with a bit of research I found the Tekton impact socket has almost exact 1” OD with pin hole. Alleviates the need to cut up spool or buy 3/4” bar stock. Instead I’ll get a single short length of 1” ID pipe and use that with shorter winch-to-roller drive shaft. Will finish project this weekend…thanks for the great vid!
That's legit amazing!!! Thanks for letting me know!
This is a good project for folks to get into. Also, in my opinion it's what men and women need to do and get out there and build stuff and repair stuff with their own two hands. We need more of that in this country. It's how it was done by our parents and for sure grandparents. A feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction of a job well done. Not to mention saving a few bucks!
Thanks, I try to work with what I have and what I can afford.
Nice!!! I want to do mine. Going to have to before doing the floors.
I need to get back on my shoebox!
What a great set of modifications!! This was well done, it'll be easy for others to follow. Love your "use what I got" philosophy, it's mine too!!
Life's expensive!!! Use what you got!! Lol
2 pieces of angle iron welded along the mouth, would really strengthen it. Great video, love it
Yup, better than what I used for sure!
@@madgingercustoms Not necessarily better. All depends on the height & thickness of the angle leg at right angle to the bead roller frame. The angle bar would need to be a total of more than the four walls of square tube at right angle to your frame. "Use what ya" got is likely plenty for the metal gage thicknesses for which you plan to use this roller. 16GA and heavier is likely asking too much of these type of roller as compared with the size of the frame on the one made on Japhands/Make It Kustom.
That was a very clean modification! Very cool video. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
Found this channel tonight. I’m pretty picky about the automotive content I watch. You basically already had my sub when I saw you listed everything in the description and even gave the exact cost breakdown at the end, but what really sealed the deal for me was the Puddin’s Fab Shop hat.
You are clearly one of my people.
I'm glad you liked the video and yes, I'm a big fan of the Pott County Legend!
Dude! Well done and great job on your video production work. Your mod goes onto my project list because I don't have a wife and Apex, my cow dog, can't reach the crank and doesn't have opposable thumbs.
It sounds like a must for you! Lol
One of the best mods I've ever seen on UA-cam, thank you for sharing, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Like a boss. That's going to make life so much easier.
That's what we're hoping. Thanks for watching!
"This is a bead roller. THIS is an ATV winch. I'm gonna show you how to put them together"... Sir, I'm sold! Subbed!! LOL
Thanks for watching!
Considering that you saved two hundred dollars off after tax dollars, you really saved
$400 by doing it yourself.
Plus you get to learn along the way.
And the machine works with half of the labor force.
That machine is now worth four times what you paid for it easily.
Well done. 👍
And I have actually used this thing quite a bit and its really good so far!
I bought a bead roller exactly like yours, and I have watched several videos of guys motorizing their bead roller. This one here is just about the best conversion that I have seen and is what I’m going to go with.
Let me know how it works out! I have used mine in other videos and its trucking right along!!
Look at you being all inventy and everything. Seriously though what a great idea.👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks! It's literally out of necessity. I can't have Jess straining the guns!
@@madgingercustoms hahaha
And I appreciate that considering I have a sprained ankle at the moment. Don't need any more injuries! 😂
@@MadGingerJess Ya should rub some dirt on it....that always works plus it all natural.....
@@diywgg😂😂😂😂 if only it was that simple!
Found the channel last night loved the roller bender . I'm gonna work through and see the vids you and the wife have done . Not belittling you but your doing a lot of simple easy stuff and the results speak for them selves . Who needs to spend serious money on tooling that's bloody expensive as it is . Modifying it gives a better understanding and worth to the project . Cheers guts
Yeah we try to keep it budget and simple. Trying to do things anyone could do.
Great video! I used a similar approach to the drive system on mine, but a bit simpler. Using the drive motor off a small 120VAC chain hoist as the donor eliminates the $100 for the expense and time to build a 12VDC power supply. For the speed controller, I used a couple of sewing machine variable speed foot pedals -- easier when slowing for cornering.
I love that!! Thanks for the great ideas!
Any particular model hoist?
Good HF mod. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks!!
Excellent video. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, but with a right-angle electric wheel chair motor.
You have my attention sir!!
I LOVE CREATIVE .
Thanks
Great job showing and telling, and great ideal again. Thanks again for your great ideals see ya next time see ya bye.
Thanks for checking out our video!!
Awesome video and great idea!
Great video, love to see someone modifying a tool to make it better.
Thanks for checking it out!
Nice work. Think I'll permanently borrow this idea 😅. Thanks for sharing.
That's what the video is for!! Thanks for watching!
Nice writeup, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for the inspiration. Did my own using most of your info.
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Great idea the winch was really smart
Thanks!!
How can we not give this a thumbs up? Well done, friend. You almost had me with the tire machine mods. Now I’m Subscribed!
I appreciate you giving me another chance!! Lol. Thank you.
I like it....I like it a lot. Just bought the cheapest welder [stick] on the large lady site so i can do to my tire changer what you did among other things....Good job
That is awesome!!
This is easily the best mod video out there. I have watched many of them, but yours gives all of the details. My kinda guy, think it through but lets see if this works,
The paint to finish is the detail most miss. Great job. Subbed.
I really appreciate the feedback!
Absolutely brilliant !
Thanks!
Nice work!!thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
Amazing video guy I’ve seen loads of folks motorize but yours is about the best.for the reinforcement I found a curved piece of dom stiffens it amazingly and gives it a neat look
I like it! Good job. I’m sure going to keep this on my bucket list. Thanks
Thanks for checking out!
Thanks for checking out!
I did the same thing with mine 3 years ago but I used a small battery charger for power and mated a pulley to the winch motor and got another pulley for my bead roller and a foot switch and it works perfect. Great video
That's awesome! I love seeing how people mod these.
Use of the winch motor with planet gearing is a great idea. Lots of torque for the amount of current draw.
Thanks Jim!! We appreciate your comments!
Just received all my Amazon parts as per you list. I could have found a sewing machine pedal a used motor and other stuff from craigslist but I didn't want to run around town gathering parts. I am using a 17mm 12 point socket in the drive coupling as one of your viewers did and welded it inside a 2 inch long round tubing, the other end i machined (have a mini lathe) to fit over the Bead roller shaft, drilled a hole and welded a nut on. The rest is pretty much going to be identical to yours. Thanks for you video! subscribed
Thanks so much for checking out the video and subscribing!
Winch ! TOP IDEA 😎💪 Thank you very much 😉❤
Thanks!
Great job !!
Thank you!
I am fabricating a Kubelwagen. I bought the bead roller to do the side panels of the Kubelwagen. I just ordered everything from Amazon from your list in order to motorize mine. No guess work for me. You did the homework already. Thanks.
Thanks and have fun!!
I'm a new sub. GREAT channel. Great rework on the TIRE CHANGER, BALANCER and BEAD ROLLER.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for spending time with us!
Dude this is brilliant. I wish i had the know-how (and the space) to try this stuff out. I hope it works out ok. Cheers!
Hoping it continues to work as well as it is right now. We have a bunch of stuff to build for our other cars!
Great video brotha! Very helpful!!
Thanks for checking it out man!!
THATS AN AWSOME BUILD Might need to order me some parts
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
excellent ideas, Thanks Very much for sharing friend...Yah bless...doug (canada)
Thank you!!
Cool roller Good.job Nice 😄👍👍👏👏
Thank you!
I did my bead roller using a 1500lb winch along with Lovejoy joints. For the stiffing I cut 2 pieces of flat bar with a bolt in the middle and place that in the throat and works great. I also put a 15 amp in line fuse so your 60 amp controller is more than enough. Great video
This is great news! Thanks for confirming that. I appreciate the info!
This is probably the cleanest, most professional DIY conversion I've seen. I've seen guys use wiper motors, drill motors, etc. I bet you could save a little more and use a smaller winch, but at that price it probably isn't worth it. Eastwood has their 19" beed roller for like $149 via IG link right now and if you build a stand you could be in this well under $500. Nice work. You have a new subscriber
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it!
Awesome video thanks
Thank you!
Nice job
Thank you!
fun, fun. I did very much the same set up, but not happy with low speed torque, so going to parallel the motor to some chain and gears
Nice video,thanks
thanks for watching!
Love the video
We appreciate you spending time with us!
Of all the videos I have seen on these rollers, this is the best. I have been wondering how to make a power supply for this and now I know. Everything is compact and a lot less noise than if using a cheap saws all drill adaptation. Kudos!
I have a similar unit and I am going to reinforce it to lessen the flex by adding angle steel from used bed frames. Many people throw them out and the steel is very good. I also believ that triangulation is better than flat stock or box tubes.
The Wire clamps for the junction box are $3.00 for five of them. I like your prices better.
Another video for you to make on this would be adding improvements such as a guide fence for long straight beads. Being under power, it is easy to relax and just let the rollers do this and that could cause a ruined sheet of metal.
Appreciate the comment!! I think we are going to do a flat table work space for this and your idea about a fence is a great addition to that!
I love that jeep i see in the back
We have 3 of those!
Looking very very familiar 😂
Looks like a win!!!
It does work well. I used it in later videos.
Also, you need two holes for the fan, one opposite the output to allow input of cool air. Maybe behind the speed controller to cool that too.
Yes sir, I haven't cut a hole yet but I leave the door open when I use it.
I love your mods. I've owned the HF manual tire machine for a couple of years. I came across your mods for that, and just finished up welding the pipe (or tubing. lol) the other day. I own the same woodward fab bead roller. Guess what mod I'm doin next? Keep up the great work!
Thanks for checking in! Glad you found our videos useful!
Nice
Thanks!
Wiring diagram would have been great or more info on how you wired it up.
I think I take for granted that I do wiring everyday. I will try to make something I can upload. Sorry for the confusion.
Nice work. I am going to do this myself. I am a bit concerned about having the electronics inside a sealed box. I will most likely ventilate mine just to keep that PSU and speed control form overheating.
Yeah I need to vent the box. I leave the door open when I'm using it still! Lol.
Great video. I think you could find a flex coupler at McMaster Carr to replace your coupler and be better.
I'm sure I could! Thanks for checking out the video!
you could put the switch on the center conductor of the forward/reverse switch.
That's an option as well. Thanks for watching!
Love itb got mine all set up today I just need to figure the wiring out… I’m not good with that stuff….. have a better pic of the wires
I will draw it up. I keep forgetting.
Sounds good thanks so much! I was pausing the video and trying to zoom in just to see where you had all them! 😂
Unless I missed it the only thing I notice is your slow speed. How slow will it go? There are times when it will be good to creep. Cool idea and very detailed explanation. 👍
This thing will go so slow it's almost stopped! The speed adjustment works great. I used it in a video replacing a trunk floor. You should check that out.
Ottimo ben fatto ,ora lo faccio ❤😂
Awesome!!!
I fitted a power steering pump pulley to bead roller shaft. Grooved the winch pulley,and used a serp belt to drive it. Seems about the right speed. I used a similar shape 5/8” plate, it still flexes, i will be boxing it. But i have been known to push the limits of stuff,like 14 gauge metal.
Im left handed, why do i wreck the right glove all the time?
Oh, switch. I had a switch from a remote worklight, magnet holds it to sheet. Thumb control.
That's awesome!!!
Do you think the cord for the foot switch will be long enough when handling large sheets?
I did think about that. It honestly may not be but it's easy to swap out. Thanks for watching!
A screen cut into the door would let a lot of fresh air in, and heat out. I have fried a power supply from ignoring ventilation.
Yeah holes are being cut.
Welding without gloves means courting *Blops.* (weld spatter/weld BBs)
Alrighty then.
It's me myself and I
Howdie awesome workmanship ya make it understandable just saying that ya dont need to be rocket Sciencest to make this Happin so much easier ya make it thks for sharing your project with us keep them coming later from Canada 🇨🇦 SK 😊what or how long is this table ya made with pipes and how high ? Cause mine is using 1 inch that to big 😊
That is the stand the comes with the roller as a package. I didn't make it. I can measure it though.
@madgingercustoms that wood be awesome make life easier thks again for your help with this carry on hopefully see more projects soon
Awesome, gonna do this to mine, electrical is not my strong suit, do you have a description of how you wired?
Maybe I can whip up a schematic!
I got it figured out, works great, thanks for the vid! Subscribed!!
That's nice, but I'm so poor I can't even afford to pay attenthank you but let's watch It anyways.😂
We appreciate you checking it out!
Any pics of the wiring? Or diagram?
We added it to our Facebook page and pinned it.
We’re do I find item links to Amazon?
In the description under the video.
L ho fatto 😂❤🎉
Did you like it?
Yes
I would like to motorize my shoes and my glasses....so I have them....
You'll never be a Jedi.
Hello! New subscriber here. Love this modification, but I’m struggling with the electrical. It looks as though you spliced the positive lead coming from the pedal with the positive lead to the motor, but I’m not seeing how power is getting to the pedal. Any way to get a clearer explanation of the wiring? Everything else is finished and working, but not with the foot pedal hooked up. Obviously electrical is not my strong suit.
I'll review and get back to you!
It's basically completing the circuit. So from the power supply to the speed control to the switch to the motor and motor returns to the power supply I think.
LOL……figured it out. Ridiculously easy, but I had to complicate it for good measure! Don’t even want to discuss what the confusion was, LOL. Thanks for a great channel and a great modification. Next up……the brake press!
@@davevanselow5277 glad you got it going!! And yes, are you a mind reader??? A press brake is next!
Stiffen that bread roller chassis
It really could use more bracing for sure but I've been using it like it is and it's been fine.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍
i have everything but the pedal. guess what im doing in 2 weeks?
Nice!!
i don't see the link to find "hot ginger wife" to crank the handle.?

Watch out for arc damage on the switch contact. Switching DC is not the best
I don't think it will have that much mileage on it and the switch is cheap and easy to replace. Thanks for watching!
WOW!!! Because Car's Have A Huge Problem Switching 12 Volts DC!!!
60 watt@12v = 5 amps. The contacts are rated for 15A, so will readily handle 1/3 rated current indefinitely. That is also the maximum theoretical current, but actual running current is much less. An inexpensive wattmeter or display could be added for running information.
Dont over explain it- If someone has the intelligence to own and operate a bead roller, they can get if told ONE TIME that you dont need to weld stiffeners into the frame in order to motorize your machine - Other than that- good Video, Good Info (I would think solid square bar rather than tubing would have stiffened that frame up better?)
Sometimes I feel like if I don't explain everything down to the little stuff I'll end up with a bunch of questions. Most people do not watch the entire video, they skip.
Perfect copy of Ruthless Customs UK
Is that a brand of bead roller?
Just found it. It's amazingly similar.!
@@madgingercustoms no kidding lol. Good job on the detail in your video. I need to to copy it now. Thanks for the links.
I am so bummed....you are not having your daughter/wife (sounds like your from some weird religion in Utah).....anyways, just kidding. Very neat idea. The winch motor is genius.
She's hobbling around. She will be in the next one I'm sure!
That was Bad A..!!!
Thank you!!
