Question about bead rolling
whats up guys? i actually have 2 questions on bead rolling. one may seem dumb but... first is it possible to use a bead roller on 1/16" thick stainless steel? (sorry can't remeber its actual gauge) and the second the possibly dumb question... when you start out with a sheet of metal say 12" x 12" square and then roll beads in it does the sheet remain 12" x 12"???? i realize that bead rolling stretches the metal but if it does change the size how do you compensate? Thanks Chris

stainless is very hard to bead roll. the .063 thick will just flex most bead rollers, and not give very good resusts. as for you second question it remains the same size. it just streaches the metal a little.
