Surprise Visitor to Baileigh Industrial

On Thursday June 23, 2011, Baileigh Industrial had a surprise visitor to its headquarters. Jackie Douglas, marketing director for Douglas Motorsports stopped by to show us the new 2011 Traxxas 2wd Slash, Scott Douglas Edition, which proudly displays the Baileigh Industrial logo. This marks the first time that Baileigh Industrial logo has been prominently displayed on what would be considered mass marketed products not produced by Baileigh Industrial.

Douglas Motorsports used many of the metal working machines that Baileigh Industrial sells, including the BSV-24 vertical band saw, and the BB-4812 box and pan brake. These machines help that to produce some of the fastest trucks on the TORQ® off road racing series.

We want to thank Jackie, Scott, and the rest of the Douglas Motorsports team, as they are a great asset in promoting to Baileigh Industrial. Good Luck the rest of the season.

Ace Clearwater and the Baileigh Shrinker Stretcher MSS-14H

Ace Clearwater www.aceclearwater.com has been building complex formed and welded assemblies for the aerospace industry since 1949. With 350,000 square feet of manufacturing space, they have a full fabrication shop with just about every type of machine you can imagine.

Chris McKee (production Manager) contacted Baileigh Industrial a couple months ago looking for a faster way to shape metal. He had a bottle neck in his manufacturing process and was looking for a solution. After talking with one of the many metal shaping experts here at Baileigh and reviewing Chris’ application, the MSS-14H Shrinker Stretcher looked like the ticket.

With the MSS-14H in the shop, Chris’ team has increased production x 4. Jerry (pictured below) is looking forward to becoming an internet metal shaping sensation. Read below:

Here is what Chris had to say about their new MSS-14H Shrinker Stretcher

We’re good to go with the release of pictures – this is our operator Jerry in real action. Things are working out great with the new stretching machine! Our throughput (in this process) has increased X4 with the use of the Baileigh Sheet Metal Shrinker Stetcher device and machine reliability is  100%. Let me know when these pics hit your web pages and I’ll tell Jerry that he’s become an internet sensation.

Thanks again!

Can you imagine having an entire product line that required you to hand grind your notches?

Every single notch by hand….hundreds of them….for 10 years!

Having a backlog a mile long with no solution other than grind faster, grind faster, grind faster.

Matt Legare from www.lakeheaders.com called Baileigh a couple months back begging us for a solution.

Although he has become efficient in hand notching and claims to be the fastest hand notcher on the planet.

He needed a faster, more accurate and repeatable solution as his company grows.

Matt made the drive from the twin cities this morning and tried out the TN-400 Tube Notcher in person.

We stuck a piece of pipe in the quick adjusting vise, turned on the tube notcher and Matt went to town.

The instant notch produced an instant smile from Matt. With the TN-400 tubing notcher Matt can now batch build his headers.

He can order up his tube, cut his material to length in bulk and crank out 30 or 40 parts in minutes rather that an entire afternoon.

If you need a set of custom headers check out www.lakeheaders.com and give Matt a call. 651-485-8075.
