Old Pexto bead rolling dies...

[db2motorwerks]

Hi There,

I'm a new kid on the block!! Been lurking for a while and been getting some great info.

I need a little help!! I'm looking for some bead rolling dies that would fit an Peck Stow & Wilcox hand beading unit. The tricky part is the arbors are 1.125".

I did a search and came across someone on the site that had some but I'm pretty sure it's a long shot they still have them but I PM'd and replied to the post.

I've thought about modifying some other brands but the once I get the ID to size it doesn't leave that much meat on the working end.

Any leads would help!

Thanks in advance!
Dino

You can always custom make some. I made all the ones for my bead roller

What machine do you have? Picture? Model number?

Pexto is still in business under the Roper Whitney brand.

I've contact Roper Whitney and they are telling me it's a real old one and can't seem to find any info on it.

But they said they are going to search the archives to see if anything comes up.

Thanks again for the reply!

Thanks Bob,

Yup that is certainly and option and I may just end up going that route if I can't find someone using an old set as a doorstop somewhere!! LOL

Thanks for your reply!

Joe makes some of the nicest wheels for english wheels, bead rollers etc.

At one time, Ron Covell sold dies for Pexto rollers. http://covell.biz/
