ID on a tool

Hey

I found this on a Danish side, like a craigslist with old/vintage stuff.
But the seller dosen't know what it is:

Do's my friend HAMB know?

The add says; Not a beadroller, what is it, 61 bucks or offer.

I want a bead roller, and this would be 1/4 og the price for a used beadroller 1/6 of a new.

 

I suspect that's just for crimping the ends of stove pipe so sections will slip together, but that's just a guess. Cool lookin' old thing, if nothing else.

Doc.

 

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the pictures

 

So does that mean with other dies and some out of the box thinking
, this could become a beadroller?
Or leave it alone?

 

I do have a real stove pipe crimper and it does not look like those dies.

Those dies appear to be mismatched. Someone mixed up the different dies, and lost the other ones. IMO


Yes, you could make bead roller dies like I made for mine, but you can only roll a bead on the edge, as it can't reach any farther.

 

I only needs to reach 2" in on the work I do.

That should be do-able with a machin of this size.

 

Looks a lot like it rolls a lip on metal pipes that would seat a hose - when making custom pipes for formula cars I used something similar
