GENERAL BEAD ROLLING
Bead rolling is both functional and artistic. The functional portion of this operation will add
strength and rigidity to sheet material. The artistic portion will add aesthetic appeal to the
design. Both operations require practice and experience to perfect.
When safety and machine capacity are taken into account, the remaining is open to the
imagination and creativity of the metal worker.
•
Never exceed the machines capacity. Keeping in mind items like seams and hems increase
the material thickness which may exceed the machines capacity.
•
Never handle material larger than you are able to comfortably control. Keep in mind that
when the material is being rolled it the forces of the rolls will cause the material to move and
twist. Use additional equipment such as back gauges, tables, and additional persons to
support and secure materials as needed.
•
Take several passes. Most beads will require several passes to obtain the desired depth.
Planning and practice will assist with this. Practice on similar material to become familiar with
how the material will react and to predict the number of passes and the depth of each pass.
