Adjusting the bead depth on your WOODWARD-FAB WFBR24P bead roller is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Preparation: Make sure your machine is correctly assembled and plugged into a power source.
2. Initial Setup: Begin with the bead depth adjuster in a neutral position to provide room for adjustments.
3. Practice Material: Use a scrap piece of the same material you plan to work with to practice and determine the ideal bead depth.
4. Start the Machine: Step on the foot pedal to check the roll direction. Release the pedal to confirm the correct direction.
5. Bead Depth Adjustment:
   • Gently step on the foot pedal to pass the metal through the rolls.
   • To deepen the bead, turn the bead depth adjuster clockwise gradually.
   • Avoid starting with the rolls fully closed, which may make feeding the material difficult.
6. Observation and Testing: While rolling the metal, continuously adjust the bead depth until you achieve the desired outcome.
7. Changing Roll Direction: If you need to reverse the rolls during the beading process, release the foot pedal before switching between forward and reverse.
8. Finalization: Once you've reached the perfect bead depth, you can start beading your panel. Practice on scrap material and following these steps will help you master the bead depth adjustment on your WOODWARD-FAB WFBR24P bead roller, ensuring precise and accurate results.
