[DelJoshua]

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

1. Preparation: Make sure your WOODWARD-FAB WFBR24P machine is properly assembled and plugged in.
2. Starting Point: Begin with the bead depth adjuster in a middle position to allow for adjustments.
3. Practice Material: Use a piece of scrap metal that is the same type and thickness as your project. This will help you get the bead depth just right.
4. Check Roll Direction: Briefly step on the foot pedal to make sure the rolls are turning in the correct direction. Release the pedal once confirmed.
5. Adjusting Bead Depth: Gently press on the foot pedal to start feeding the metal through. Turn the bead depth adjuster clockwise to increase the depth incrementally. Avoid starting with the rolls fully closed to prevent feeding issues.
6. Observation and Testing: While the metal is being rolled, keep adjusting the bead depth until you achieve the desired outcome.
7. Changing Roll Direction: If you need to reverse the direction mid-bead, release the foot pedal completely before switching.
8. Finalizing Depth: Once you've achieved your desired depth on the scrap, you're set to begin.

By following these steps, you'll be able to expertly adjust the bead depth on your WOODWARD-FAB WFBR24P Bead Roller, leading to successful and professional results.
