    Pro-Tools (Tampa, FL) appears to have the best price on an electric bead roller and die sets that I can find. Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - with Pro-Tools, and specifically their bead roller? Thanks.

    Not the bead roller - bender. Got one several years back and just got another die from them. Always been good, even had an issue with the original bender and they sent spare parts for me to try till I got it figured out... and the issue was not with thier part, turned out I had gotten some tube that was out of spec.

    Are there tubing dies machined from solid or cast? What all is included in there die sets. A picture would help. You probably already know why I want a picture of them.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!!

    Machined out of solid steel - I used to know of a place that had die specs, will look if you want. You have the Die (solid large piece) a shoe to support the back in the bend and a coller to hold the tube on the Die.

    Pics this weekend if you want - we are below 0* and I am getting over Bronchitis so the boss won't let me go out and play (I keep telling her I have a heater out there :) )
