Hello All,

I have just completed a 325mm metric Geared version of the George Thomas Bending rolls from M.E.

All on cnc ,I have done a new Drawing & 3d model in Turbocad,also all nc / toolpath files for 4 axis mill & 2 axis lathe.If they are of use to anyone please let me know & can provide.

I will post some pictures over the weekend

Also have a couple of questions

Q 1, is there somewhere on forum to post project files ?

Q 2, I am looking for plans for a BEAD Roller can anyone point me in the direction of any.

Regards Adrian

There were some articals in ME by a bloke who was building replica vintage bikes, and there was a bit about the gear he built for rolling the rims.Ian S C

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.
