Hi all,
1st a quick apology for tardy response not been on here for a while been away with work
thanks for help locating a design.
Graeme if you pm me i will send you my drawings & some assembly pictures,do you want the cam files ?. drawing in TCad v12.3 format or do you want  other format.It's quite a big file with all data.
 
Does anyone have an answer for my other question regarding a file repository for user to upload project files.Personally i have no problem sharing any of my project info if it helps someone somewhere.So i files section like a yahoo group seems a good idea !
 
regards Adrian

Staffdog, sent you PM yesterday requesting drawings and assembly pictures.  Thought I would post also as I ask for the drawings in AutoCad instead of TCad.  I also have Rhino3D and PartMaster.  Any of these are OK, howerer prefer AutoCad if you can save to that format.  The slip roller design appears to be just what I'm looking for. 
 
I'm a new member to Model Engineer.  I've CNC'ed a RF-31 mill/drill and a Grizzly G0602 lathe.  Mostly I have made things to make more things on each.  Looking forward to being an active member of Model Engineer Workshop.
 
Regards, Doug

Adrian,
 
Do a search on the Web for Bead Roller and you'll find numerous hits.  One site with plans is http://sites.google.com/site/scanmant/home .  I built the Ring Roller and the Broach Press from his plans.  The Bead Roller seems to offer several options not usually found.  Hope this helps.
 
Doug
