    I got a deal on a great JD2 bead roller at the swap meet this weekend. However, it only came with one die. JD2 out of Ocala, FL) doesn't make bead rollers anymore, and I need more die options. Does anyone know if any other manufacturer's dies will work?

    I am new to bead rollers, but understand that the bore diameter is the key measurements to see if a Covell or Mittler Brothers die, for example, will work. But it looks like there's is a key on the shaft, fitting into the back face of the die (facing the frame), and I don't know if other manufacturers have this.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks. That's really helpful.

    Does anyone have experience with replacing a JP2 die specifically?

    Are you sure it's not JD2?
