Metal Machinery

I have been with Baileigh Industrial for over 3 years now and I can still remember the first time I saw the TN-800 tube notcher. I thought… “how does this machine work and how does it come up with the eccentric path and a perfect cut every time it notches?” Well, after looking into it more, I found that it was one of the most unique machines that Baileigh has to offer. It has the ability to notch anything from 1/2” to 3” OD material.  It can do anything from chassis, handrails, and almost anything that needs a notch in it.

One of the biggest features of this tube notcher machine is that it has the ability to change notch sizes with a change of the angle dial indicator. The TN-800 also has the ability to change the size of material that you can notch very easily due to the V-blocks in the vise that hold different sizes of material with ease. The V-Block feature also makes sure that your material is always centered in reference to your cut. This feature ensures precise notches in any type of material.

This tubing notcher weighs-in at a robust 610-Lbs.  The heavy duty frame allows for faster notches due to reduced vibration. This is also good for your tooling and it extends the life of your end mills.  Another thoughtful feature on this machine is the addition of the casters.  These casters allow the notching machine to be moved all around your shop, or on the job site with ease.  So it becomes very convenient to pull the machine out, notch, clean it up, and put it away. The fact that the machine is 110V, 60 hertz also makes this machine perfect for almost any shop on the planet … or in any environment from your shop to the jobsite. This is the perfect tube notcher machine for anyone who needs to notch material.

Like we say here at Baileigh …. The TN-800 is like the Cadillac of notchers.

Here’s some pictures I have of us using your Baileigh machines. You can see me bending a brass pool railing with your bender and then pictures of the finished pool railings. You can also see my brothers Ian and Paz Padilla forming a copper sheet mango tree stump on your power hammer. The picture after is of the finished mango tree gate after forming the copper and patina. The other picture on the power hammer is my brother Janus Padilla forming one of a series of copper banana leaves for another entrance gate. You can see the picture of the gate finished with the spread of large copper banana leaves along with the sculpted heliconia flowers. The other pictures are of some of our other work like gates, banisters, fire sculptures and water features. (more…)

Starting out my career at a fairly young age as a machinist in a local converting equipment manufacturer, I quickly learned to appreciate quality tools such as metal turning lathes, milling machines, band saws, press brakes, drill presses and much more.

One of the summer jobs I had was drilling and tapping holes using a fine drill press made in Northern Europe. It quickly earned my respect as being a well built piece of machinery and when it came time several decades later to put our name on a machine we wanted similar positive design qualities with many modern day improvements implemented into our Baileigh Industrial metal drill presses.
