JS Tools SFM620 Power Bead Roller
The JS Tools Bead Roller creates thousands of different profiles in steel and aluminum sheet metal. Built with heavy gauge steel construction and a 14 RPM motor with foot pedal control, you keep both hands free to guide your work while the machine handles the forming.
This machine gives you a 620mm (24.4") throat depth for working with substantial panels. The standout feature is the 35mm upper shaft adjustment, which lets you mix different wheel pairs together to create thousands of profile combinations from just 43 available wheel pair options.
The foot pedal provides forward and reverse control, so your hands stay on the workpiece where they need to be. You can work with up to 18 gauge (1.25mm) cold rolled steel and 2mm aluminium. The machine handles both structural and decorative metalwork applications.
Wheel changes take seconds, making it practical when your project requires multiple different profiles. The heavy gauge steel frame construction provides the rigidity needed for consistent, repeatable results.
Applications
- Automotive Panel Fabrication: Create profiles in replacement panels, add structural reinforcement ribs, and form custom body lines. The 620mm throat depth accommodates the panel sizes you'll encounter in automotive work.
- Sheet Metal Strengthening: Add structural beads that increase panel rigidity without adding material thickness. This is particularly useful when working with thinner gauge materials that need additional strength.
- Custom Profile Creation: Form decorative patterns, create stepped profiles for panel joining, and produce consistent beaded profiles across multiple pieces. The adjustable shaft system expands your profile options significantly.
Key Features & Benefits
- 35mm Adjustable Upper Shaft: This adjustment range lets you offset your wheel pairs to create profile variations beyond what fixed shaft machines can achieve. By mixing different wheel pairs together, you multiply your profile options without purchasing additional specialized tooling for every variation you need.
- Foot Pedal Forward and Reverse Control: You control direction with your foot while both hands guide the metal. This means you can reverse direction instantly without stopping to reposition or reaching for switches, giving you better control over the forming process and faster workflow.
- Heavy Gauge Steel Construction: The robust frame construction eliminates flex during operation. This translates directly to cleaner, more consistent beads, especially important when you're working with heavier materials or forming deeper profiles.
- Quick Wheel Changes: Swapping between wheel pairs takes seconds. When your project needs multiple profile types, this speed means less downtime between operations and more productive work time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of metal can this machine handle?
The machine processes up to 18 gauge (1.25mm) cold rolled steel and 2mm aluminium. These capacities cover the majority of sheet metal forming work.
How does the 35mm shaft adjustment benefit my work?
The adjustable upper shaft lets you offset wheel pairs to create different profile depths and variations. By combining this adjustment with different wheel pairs, you can achieve thousands of different profiles rather than being limited to a fixed number of options.
Are the wheel pairs included with the machine?
No, wheel pairs are sold separately. The machine comes complete with the motor, foot pedal, stands, and guide. This lets you select the specific wheel pair profiles you need. There are 43 different wheel pair options available.
How quickly can I change between different wheel pairs?
Wheel changes take seconds. This speed is designed into the system because metalworking projects often require switching between multiple profiles.
What comes included with the machine?
The complete package includes the bead roller machine, motor, foot pedal, machine stands, guide, and 1 year warranty. You'll need to purchase the wheel pairs separately based on the profiles you want to create.
What maintenance does this machine require?
Standard metalworking equipment maintenance applies. Keep the machine clean, remove metal debris after use, and maintain proper lubrication of moving parts. The heavy gauge steel construction is built for durability.
