Default Tools for making cones

I would like to try making cones, as in the kind you use at the end of a necklace to make the ends look tidy. Is there a bead roller for that? Or is there a specific mandrel? I tried using my thimble mandrel but those are too chunky for the look I want. Thanks

I have a couple from AS. I wish someone would figure out a way to make the mandrel so it would have a smaller hole size at the top than the handle rod diameter. It would be nice to not have to pack a small bead inside to keep things from slipping through. Just my 2 cents.

Here's a beadcone I made a while ago...


...this is one with a beadcap mandrel


They can be challenging to get off the mandrel because there is so much surface area of bead release.
