The rollers and presses are good for making your beads the same shape from on bead to the next, but it's getting the same amount of glass right each time that makes your beads all the same size. Or very very close, like within a half mm of each other.
Here a thread with a link to my free tutorial on making your beads match up in size. No tools needed. Just heat, gravity, and training your "eye" to get the right amount of glass on the mandrel each time.
