I have that exact bead roller with a bunch of different dies, it works pretty good if you go slow with it and dont try to do anything too thick.  We did beef ours up ofcourse using some 2X2 1/4" square stock on both the top and the bottom of it, just welded it right to the plate and it helped a bunch.  Still flexes when you try to bead something thicker but its a lot better then before, if anyone is interested, I can post a pic.

So I picked up another one that was missing most of it's parts, but the main body was essentially the same buth actually considerably thicker plate. I lined them up and welded them together and reattached my hardware. Then I converted it to a wheel, using an old circle track steering wheel i picked up at a swap meet for $10 just for this project.
 
 
 
Tried it out a bit and it does 16g pretty nicely.
