Post by KIDTech »

I am looking hard at this tool offered by Baileigh for the shop, anyone have one they'd like to give feedback on? It would be much appreciated.

I went through 3 machines before they operated partially correct.. the first ones would not clamp material. The final one, and the one I just said ok, enough is is enough was the one I still have...

I will say this, the one I have now, clamps and bends correct, but something is screwed up in the foot pedal because the pedal is HOT, and when I mean hot, it doesn't function but it will shock the living shit out of you, So its disconnected.

Cool tool for sure, but, Baileigh.. meh. They tried to make it right but it took multiple times to just get close.

I don't own one but have used them in my career. They are not all they are cracked up to be. I would use that money towards something better built and usefull for other things.
They have been discussed over on Pirate 4x4 forum, you can search there.

Heres the link
