YouTube - Baileigh RDB-050 Tube Bender, 3 speeds, Tubing and Pipe Bender With Large Capacity

Baileigh Industrial’s newest bender, the RDB-050, was designed from the ground up to deliver world class bend quality in an affordable package. This unit is aimed squarely at the serious home fabricator who may not be able to justify a larger hydraulic or programmable bender but still wants the quality and performance Baileigh Industrial is famous for.

This revolutionary new design incorporates features previously seen only on much more expensive benders. Heavy duty bushings incorporated at all wear points for incredible service life and increased bend capacity. This is a bender for life!

Three speed operation makes quick work of any bending job. Simply change pin location to adjust the amount of movement per “pull” (4, 8, or 12 deg.) – no confusing or time wasting disassembly required. For very light weight materials the operator can bend in one smooth pull all the way to 200 deg. This new leverage action along with an incredibly rigid framework allows for huge bend capacity – up to 2 1/2” OD (.120” wall) Mild Steel or 2” OD (.120” wall) Chromolly Tubing.

A simple anti-spring back mechanism assures precise bend control and increased operator safety. At no time does the operator have to “hold” the arm in place and be subjected to dangerous backlash, an important consideration when bending the likes of Chromolly. Tooling changeover is fast and easy as no disassembly of the machine is necessary. Simply pull a few pins and slide in the new tooling – it’s that easy! The whole process can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.

Once the part is completed simply slide the finished piece out of the machine. Our innovative design eliminates the need to disassemble the unit or remove tooling to release your work piece making the bend process clean and simple. Round tube tooling is available for either 90 or 180 degree bends and incorporates the same replaceable aluminum/bronze counter die inserts that Baileigh Industrial is famous for. Hook arm inserts for varying tube sizes assist with fast tooling changes. True to form, our tooling remains the best in the industry.

The RDB-050 comes complete with the stand, handle and degree dial included. Simply add your desired tooling sizes and you can be up and bending in no time. It is UPS shippable to keep freight charges reasonable.

Pre orders are now being taken. Estimated shipping date is scheduled for June 1st, 2009.

To get the single 200* bend do you just not engage the ratchet system?

Yes, on small OD material, you can release the ratchet system and just "walk" around the machine.

When we say "200 degrees in one shot"

You can keep ratcheting all the way to 200 degrees without having to stop and re-pin the bender like all other benders on the market.

Quick question for 'ya:
Can you bend 1/16" wall DOM (header tubes) past 90 deg. w/o collapsing of the inner part of the tube? I have to fill each tube w/ sand, compact & cap both ends & still cannot do it w/ my JD2

No, this is not an exhaust bender. Great for roll cages.
