Looking for a 1.5" beading blade

[Duane Broussard]

I'm looking for a beading lathe blade that is 1.5" wide and is shaped like a half moon. I've seen them on a link that someone posted on here but I can't find it. This tool creates a rounding on the spindle 1.5" wide.

You could always grind a spindle gouge upside down and get what you want...

Sorby has beading blades. Not certain whether they are that wide though. Robert-sorby.com

Thanks guys.... I'll probably just continue to free hand. Lie Steve said - The stress and torque will probably be too great.
