pipe/tube beading tool diy
somebody on here was asking about a tube/pipe beading tool
the other day.. a guy(O2GF74) has posted his home made beading tool very diy but the idea can be used for bigger/smaller pipes etc its very simple and also quite clever really a simple and effective solution good man sharing it with everybody hope its of interest to somebody cheers les g PS: its under the heading .....can you see what it is yet |
Not a bad idea is that Les :)
I was thinking of turning up a male & female set of rollers ( Not unlike a set of tube cutters ) in the lathe. Set them into a pair of sturdy fingers, add an adjustable clamping/pressure screw & Bob's your uncle ;) I had a look at some of the Pro ones .... Friggin hell, have you seen the price of em :eek: :eek: |
hi Ronnie
yes thats a good idea as well. i also thought that if you made one similar to Matey,s with a good chunky bottom bit to hold in the vice a fixed stop to hold the pipe against and the top bit heavy enough to hit/tap/beat with a hammer......... you could rotate the pipe one handed and and tap away with the hammer it could be a nifty solution if you get what i mean cheers les g |
Hey Les, that's not a bad idea mate :cool: ;)
I suppose you could fabricate a hinged anvil & dolly to clamp in the vice + a little sping to stop it bouncing ..... Probably makes no sense but you have given me a cool idea & probably persactly what you are thinking :) I feel another one of my dodgy " Windows Paint " sketches coming up :D |
Ronnie
yes thats exactly what i mean i dont do sketches unless they are on the back of an/oil filter box lol deffo not on a computer cheers les g |
Sand fill the tube to be bent and it won't crush....gentle heat will make it easier;)
|
Beading Mark .... Not bending :D I blame the Black stuff :)
Here's another of my dodgy sketches !! Is that what you was thinking Les ? The lower former could make use of an old woodruff key, inverted & tacked into place . Or a profiled piece of hardened steel. The upper former could be made with a small round file or ground out. A tad oversize to the lower former to allow for material thickness ( A couple of mm's should do the trick ) I really must learn to use the Autocad or Solid Edge software I have installed on this PC ....... I havn't got the faintest idea :o |

i reckon thats almost marketable perhaps you should put a patent on it............. or make me one to test for when my wonky leg is better lol cheers les g |
