Description
Roll small-diameter rings, curved brackets, and custom equipment handles without using expensive powered machinery. The Baileigh R-M10 Manual Roll Bender shapes round and flat bar stock in a compact benchtop profile. This manual roll bender utilizes a manual hand crank. It requires solid bench or vise mounting to resist operator leverage during bending.
Solid machined plate steel forms the bender frame, preventing flex under heavy mechanical pinch loads. The manual top roll adjusts downward via a fine-pitch ACME lead screw, applying incremental downforce for tight circular radii. Hardened steel drive gears link the manual hand crank to the two lower rolls, providing positive material feeding without surface slippage. A comprehensive tooling set rolls flat stock, round rod, and small square tubing.
Key Features of Baileigh BA9-1006846
Turf repair shops and ornamental metal fabricators use this manual roll bender to form custom equipment handles and small circular rings. The manual drive provides complete control over the bending pass.
- 1-1/4 inch round pipe and flat bar capacity rolls small-diameter structural metal profiles
- Manual hand crank drive operates without electrical power cords or hydraulic pump units
- Precision ACME top roll adjustment screw applies controlled downforce for repeatable bends
- Includes comprehensive standard roll set for bending flat bar, round bar, and square tube
- Machined steel side plate frame eliminates frame twist during heavy manual rolling passes
- Compact benchtop footprint mounts into standard heavy shop bench vises or worktables
- Segmented roll dies allow operators to configure custom die spacings for varying stock widths
Manual Roll Bender Bench Telemetry
Testing validates smooth circular ring forming of 1-inch flat steel bar down to a 6-inch inside diameter. Hand crank torque requires 22 foot-pounds of manual force during tight radius rolling passes. Roll shaft runout measures under 0.0012 inches across the precision-turned shafts. Surface hardness of the included roll dies measures 52 HRC to resist galling from abrasive hot-rolled steel bar. Acoustic noise registers zero dBA during manual operation.
Manual Bending Safety Setup Rules
Clamp the bender base tabs securely into a heavy-duty industrial bench vise before feeding metal stock. Keep fingers clear of the roll pinch zones during crank handle rotation. Do not attempt to bend solid steel bar exceeding 1-1/4 inch width or hardened tool steel profiles.
- Drive gear teeth require coats of multi-purpose lithium grease every thirty operating hours
- Top roll ACME lead screw demands high-pressure grease application monthly
- Hardened steel roll dies require solvent cleaning to remove clinging metal scale
