Hey Guys,
This is a COOL tool when working with aluminum...
Even the simplest overlaps can make it look professional ...
I modified a few things on it... I made a cover over the gears for safety.
I bolted a "tab" on it for putting it in a Vise...
and I made a rack to hold the different sets of dies...
But the most useful Modification was changing the "Crank" handle to a "Wheel"
I found myself in awkward positions while holding a long piece and cranking it through...
The wheel enables you to stand over your piece , and operate the beader more efficiently.

Here's some pictures of the mods...
