Eastwood Company 54815 Bead Roller Stretching Dies Set 22mm

The Eastwood Company 54815 Stretching Dies transform your bead roller into a metal stretching tool, allowing you to pre-stretch sheet metal panels before bead rolling to eliminate warping and oil canning. This innovative die set gives you the benefits of an English wheel without the expense or space requirements.

Key Features:

• Pre-stretch panels before bead rolling to prevent warping and distortion
• 22mm inside diameter fits all Eastwood manual bead rollers with standard 22mm shaft size
• Compatible with most brands using standard 22mm shaft diameter
• Constructed from high-quality CR12 steel with 35 HRC hardness for durability
• More precise and easier to use than traditional English wheel methods
• Allows selective stretching only where needed on the panel

How It Works:

When adding strengthening beads to floor pans or custom panels, the metal naturally stretches during the bead rolling process, which often causes unwanted warping and oil canning. Professional fabricators have traditionally used English wheels to pre-stretch metal before bead rolling. These stretching dies bring that same professional technique to your bead roller, making high-quality panel fabrication more accessible and precise.

Ideal for custom floor pans, body panels, and any sheet metal project where beads will be added. The dies enable you to stretch metal exactly where needed, ensuring your finished panels fit properly without distortion.
