About the least inexpensive way to power a bead roller effectively would be to use a HF 1/2" low speed high torque variable speed reversible drill and a flex plate from a small block Chevy or brand of your choosing.. get the gear from the starter and the ratio will be about right..I used a 110 tooth gear and a 13 tooth gear on the drill motor and a 35 roller chain but the big gear is a bit pricey.. a flex plate would be about the same ratio and much cheaper.. you want it to be reversible and variable speed for intricate work.. good luck with all your endeavors!

I think you want a low speed high tourqe motor, something with a gearbox attached to it. Lots of amp draw, I think anything battery powered wouldn’t last long. Butt yeah grab a bowl of weedies and give it a try.
I'm really glad I looked up videos before restarting my stalled roller build, your content is great. Your method for truing the edge was great.
I powered mine with a small harbor freight UTV winch motor. I have a series of videos on my channel. Enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting.
I love the way you do things bro. Thanks for the tip.
Pretty cool and turned out perfect.
Garage door opener, works great!
Thank you. Great idea to make our own.

What's with the face diaper...? DC for your motor. You can slow it down without a VFD.
This is little late, but being a MAGA prick is a horrible way to go through life.
Step bit might have been easier on washer hole also
Great Tip's Thank you
Use a motor from a treadmill
would a starter motor work. It would be battery powered that could be solar charged

That's awesome!
A sewing machine motor with foot pedal is ideal
As long as it came off a industrial big boi machine, I bet it would work great!
Good idea 👍
