Earl's  has this tube beader for sale. Has anybody used it
successfully?

Somebody on here built one like it but it did not work for me.

I am getting ready to make something like the second picture.

Ed Klepeis, can you bead 1.5 inch OD .040 aluminum tube?

Paul;

I bought this tube beader from Mittler Bros. Machine & Tool.  Does a
nice job on tubes 1/2" and up.  I did some .058 wall 6061 just fine.  I
paid $150; I'll sell it for $100.

Al- 

Are you switching to AN hose or Wiggins Al?
