This is a versatile, workhorse of a machine. With a 13" throat and capacity of 18- gauge mild steel, it can perform most all beading and swaging functions. It is a beefy 3/4 HP machine, with the business end made of solid, machined cast iron, mounted on a sturdy sheet metal cabinet. A two-pedal foot switch allow the operator to have two hands free at all times when changing direction of the rolls. An enlarged back gauge plate also facilitates handling of the part.
