Mechanical & Structural Issues
*Bead depth adjuster not moving smoothly
**Inspect for dirt or debris around the adjuster; clean and lubricate as needed.
**Make sure the handle is properly attached and free of damage.
*Roll shafts seizing or stiff
**Apply light machine oil to bushings periodically to maintain smooth rotation.
**Ensure shaft alignment is correct and rolls slide on/off easily.
*Crank engagement issues
**Verify the crank handle is securely fastened.
**Confirm gears are clean, dry, and free of excessive play.
Beading Performance Problems
*Shallow or inconsistent bead depth
**Turn the bead depth adjuster clockwise until it contacts the metal, then add another half-turn for pressure.
**Test settings on scrap material and adjust gradually for desired depth.
*Uneven beads or wandering path
**Ensure bead rolls are securely fastened to the shafts and set parallel.
**Use an edge guide or depth stop to maintain straightness and consistent bead width.
Material Feeding or Roll Misalignment
*Difficulty feeding stock through rolls
**Start with rolls slightly open, then close gradually with the depth adjuster to avoid pinching thin stock.
*Rolls slipping or shifting under load
**Tighten shaft set screws and ensure rolls are properly keyed to the shafts.
