Default Flat disc shaped tool

Does anyone know where to buy (if it even exists) a bead roller of press to make a disc shape with a flat surface. Sort of a rondelle shape but not like the ones that have a sharp edge. Hope this makes sense.

There's CGBeads Beadroller in Disc shape with a couple mandrel size options:

Then there's Zoozii's Chunky Disk Press:

With either one, you can easily heat the "knife" edge and roll against your graphite marver to turn the edge into a flattened surface.

Maybe one of this will work for you...

Good luck!

That's what I was thinking, too.

What I am looking for is the shape of in the bottom on the tool above, only as wide as the middle one. Maybe one of our tool makers will see this and make us one.

OH you are talking about a tire shape? Yes? Use the inside of your tweezers to keep it that shape after you roll it.
