A bead roller is commonly used to make floor pans, but when the strenghtening beads are added the panels often warp because of the metal being stretched to form the beads. Pre-stretching the sheet metal with an english wheel prior to rolling beads has long been a practice of experienced fabricators who wanted panels to fit properly without oil canning. Now you can do the same high quality work without an english wheel by using these dies with your bead roller.
