Being that I work for Baileigh Industrial, a metal working machinery distributer, it is only common to have race teams call up and ask about the latest equipment. You create many new friends through those phone calls in hopes of one day getting to meet up with them and share a beer or a laugh. And although you both know that they are partaking in one of the most dangerous vocations available, you think nothing bad will happen, these guys and gals make thousands of laps around a track with no incident and even when there is something that happens, they get out of their car and immediately tell you about it on TV. Maybe we are numb to the dangers, but it only takes one accident to bring it all back to perspective. (more…)
Baileigh Industrial employees have some very diverse interests, case in point, look at what Chris, Baileigh Industrial’s Head Engineer does in his spare time. Chris is an accomplished pilot and loves flight, so naturally the next step was building his own plane. Check out the first “flight” in this short video.
To further expand on our commitment to the South Pacific, Baileigh Industrial, Inc. of Manitowoc, WI has Incorporated Baileigh Industrial Pty. Limited that will be opening a new distribution / service center in the Providences of Victoria and New South Wales during 2012. This new facility will be responsible for the distribution and support of our quality metal machinery that is comprised of metal working machinery such as machine tools, metal forming machinery, metal fabrication equipment, sheet metal machinery, and much more.
Additional distribution / service centers are planned to open throughout the world in the upcoming years. Further details will be disclosed as they become available.
Several months ago Chuck Wahl from Vultures Row Aviation called us here at Baileigh looking for a solution to shape metal. This is what he ended up with.
Chuck is always braggin’ around his airplane buddies about the quality of his MSS-14H Shrinker Stretcher. He sends us movies and pictures from time to time of the work his guys in the shop do. Chuck gave us a ring a couple weeks back looking for a bead roller. He was in the process of re-skinning a 1943 Curtiss Helldiver.
Not impressed with the standard bead rollers on the market, he went with our new heavy duty 16 gauge bead roller. The BR-16E-36 gave Chuck the throat depth, adjustability, and capacity he was looking for. (more…)
