apples to oranges.. the more other equipment i have, the more the bead roller collects dust. I rely on my shopdog for most beading, tipping, flanging, shrinking tasks, and clean it up with my planisher.
not many panels on a car have bodylines that match up with off the shelf bead roller dies. If you want the instant wow factor on floors and such i suppose a bead roller is win, but if you are into accurate panel work, you wouldn't use it much.

While my experience level is much less than yours, I have to agree. Built my own recip machine after I saw how versatile they are. Tooling can be made very easily without a mill and lathe. I have a cheap bead roller(Woodward Fab) with the stock dies and a pexto copy with a tipping wheel. Made these test panels in the first hour after getting the machine running. The offset tooling was made with hardwood, Aluminum cut on the band-saw for the body line. 20160814_193840-resized-640.jpg 20160818_195442-resized-640.jpg 20160818_194759-resized-640.jpg

So when it comes to recip hammers, that seems like a good idea. Maybe ill just splurge on a dake. Do any of you have the dake model? I've heard debate between Dake and pullmax. can anyone lend an experienced word or two?

Dake Reciprocating machines are very well built. I have had 2 of them when the were called Anoka.
Nice size for a small shop and easy to build tooling for them. It is just as easy to build tooling for a pullmax.

A dake is basically a smaller throat version of a pullmax.... I will say after having it is rarely use the beadroller.
