Demand for the Action Track chair took off. Tim and his crew found themselves with more orders to fill than they could handle. Manual benders, hand grinders, and the old broken down bandsaw in the corner was not going to handle this type of production. This is when Tim gave Baileigh Industrial a call and shouted “HELP!”

Looking at Tim’s budget and production needs, Baileigh Industrial offered an economical production solution. Starting out with the RDB-175 tube bender for the track chair frames. A hydraulic bender with an auto stop for quick, repeatable bends. The CS-315EU cold cut saw for fast, accurate and burr free cuts. The DBG-106 offers them a nice belt and disk grinding surface for de-burring and polishing parts.

With the correct machinery in place, production is at full throttle. Tim now has had a little more time for some R & D of new products. His latest creation is just plain awesome. The new Action Track Stander helps people with disabilities stand up to participate in more activities.

“We shopped all over for metal fabrication equipment and found that Baileigh Industrial was the best for our needs. High quality, availability,  Midwest distribution. They had everything our fabrication department needed. A knowledgeable staff and fast delivery as well. We currently use the tube bender, cold cut saw and grinder in our daily production. ”

(MENOMONIE, WISCONSIN)  Jimmy Mars racked up his third feature win of the 2012 racing season on Friday night, April 27 at his hometown Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wisconsin!  Jimmy won his heat race in preliminary action and later rolled off fourth on the grid in the 15-lap main event.  The popular driver known as the “Iceman” raced out to an early lead and drove his familiar #28 to victory lane by defeating Chad Mahder, AJ Diemel, Jake Redetzke, and Scott Gilberts.  You can read more about Jimmy’s $1,000 triumph by clicking on www.redcedarracing.com.

“It was great to get another win here locally – especially at Red Cedar in front of an awesome bunch of fans,” exclaimed Mars.  “We haven’t hit the road much since Florida due to the amount of Late Models and Modifieds we had to prepare for our clients, but I am ready for some of these bigger shows that are coming up on our schedule.  The extra time around home also allows us to get our own equipment prepared as best we can, so hopefully that shows this upcoming weekend at Granite City and Paducah!”

The Mars Racing team will hit the road this upcoming weekend (May 4-5) to enter a pair of Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series showdowns.  First up will be a trip to the Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Illinois on Friday night for a $10,000 to win battle.  Saturday’s weekend finale will take the #28 team to the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah, Kentucky for a similar $10,000 to win tilt.  Both shows will be headlined by 50-lap feature events.  Additional information concerning the LOLMDS double-dip can be accessed by pointing your web browser to www.lucasdirt.com.

Much of Rusty’s product line involves tubular parts, from control arms to track bars to bumpers and other equipment. When it came time to expand our production capacity with an NC tubing bender in order to keep up with demand, our first and foremost priorities were reliability and accuracy; just as we approach our product line, price took a backseat to quality.

After researching all of the options, the Baileigh RDB-250 tube bender got the nod. It offers us absolute repeatability for our production runs, and the quick setup allows us to easily change from production to custom parts for our customers, which remain one of our specialties. We also just picked up the WP-1800 weld positioner , BSV-12 vertical bandsaw along with the DG-500 disc grinder. These are all excellent additions to our shop full of CNC machines, lasers, press brakes, and other metal fabrication equipment. Now if Rusty’s can dream it up, Rusty’s manufacture it right here in our Rainbow City, Alabama, production center!

Innovators in the Hobby Industry, Train Works is a family owned business out of Sutherlin, Oregon. Dad Mike Hedquist is the head head fabricator. Daughter Alicia Lazz and Mom Lynda Hedquist run the day to day office work. Son in law Tyler Lazz handles fabrication, paint and sales.

With some of the far out designs of these trains, the guys found themselves very limited by the standard style box and pan brakes on the market. Most of which have only a 4″ or 6″ box depth before running into interference issues with the machine. This creates a TIG welding nightmare when trying to duplicate some of the intricate features of a train.

Frustrated, Tyler and Mike contacted Baileigh Industrial and spoke with our sheet metal forming and shaping team. After sending us some drawings of what they wanted to build, the team proposed a solution to all of their problems, a magnetic box and pan brake. These trains are big, so they went with the six footer.

The BB-7216M Magnetic Box and Pan Brake has unlimited box depth, and unlimited bend radius. Here is a video of how it works:

“Baileigh Industrial has helped us grow 400% in production in the last year and become one of the hobby’s leading innovators. With the help of the six foot magnetic brake, we are now forming things never thought possible.”

Jan popped up on one of the many forums Baileigh Industrial is involved with. Jan was trying to make his own roll bender to complete a large arch on an entry gate made out of 2″ x 120″ wall square tube. He was having a hard time keeping the material in the same plane. Frustrated, he reached out and sent a message to Baileigh.

After a couple messages back and forth on the forum, Jan finally called Baileigh and spoke with one of the many roll bending experts. After reviewing Jan’s application we decided the R-M55 Roll Bender was perfect for Jan’s shop.
The R-M55 boasts three 50mm shafts, perfect for roll bending entry gates. It comes standard with all the tooling needed to handle the 2″ square. It also comes with an 18 piece tooling package that will handle square, rectangle, flat bar, and many other shapes making it perfect for structural or ornamental applications.

Since adding the R-M55 Roll Bender to their shop, business has flourished. LGIW is now one of the areas renowned ornamental iron shops and produces some very high end jobs. Check out this website that spotlights some of his work.

If you are in the Bay Area and have a fabrication need, give Los Gatos Iron Works a call or visit their website.

Kasey King (Head Driver and Event Director) contacted Baileigh Industrial looking for an economical way to keep his team safe while promoting the development of their fabrication skills. Rather than pay the local shop to install roll cages in their cars, the team decided to learn to bend, notch and weld in their own cages.

The team decided on the RDB-050 manual tube bender. With it’s 3 bending speeds and phenomenal bend quality, the first cages looked beautiful and were whipped out in no time. They also invested in the TN-250 tube notcher, a favorite for the do it your self cage builder.

Thanks Kasey! Keep us updated on the race team and good luck this summer!

Being a welder for a local utilities company feeds his family, but his true love is in his garage. His current project is a scratch built 1929 Ford Roadster that was rescued from a farm field.

Jordan contacted Baileigh Industrial looking for a bead roller. The BR-18E-36 was a perfect fit. Looks like Jordan has once again taught himself another skill, how to bead roll like a pro. Great job Jordan and thanks for sharing your skills with us. Keep us updated on your fine ride!

David is known as “Coachbuilder1″ on many of the Racing and Off Road forums that got him started in fabrication. Staying true to his racing roots, David started with race car fabrication and flourished in the fabrication world. After adding the RDB-250 tube bender and TN-800 tube notcher to his arsenal, David ventured off into the Off Road, Desert Racing and Rock Crawling market. Turning out some major “outside of the box” rigs, he became somewhat of a rock star in the industry.

As his popularity soared and demand for his products have sky rocketed, David has added the VM-942 Mill, R-M55 Roll Bender, CS-315 Cold Saw and his trusty DP-1000VS  Drill Press.

Here are a couple pics of an award winning 2011 Toyota Tundra Crewmax that Ekstrom Design outfitted with their newly designed Patent Pending Roof Rack. It is unique as it is only 1″ above the top of the truck and contours the curves of the vehicle (thanks to his roll bending skills).

Keep an eye out for Ekstrom Design’s work in the Race Car and Off Road world and hit him up on your favorite forum. Thanks David!

Here is what David has to say about his experience with our machinery and customer service:

“Never again will I be limited by my equipment, thanks to Baileigh Industrial. Being a Designer and Welder I pride myself in the highest quality and most unique products. In the last few years Ekstrom Design and Fabrication has outfitted its shop with Baileigh Equipment exclusively and has never looked back. Thanks to the application specialists and the many others that make Baileigh Industrial what it is today.”

Sincerely, David Ekstrom

Here is what Larry has to say:

“Well this week Baileigh made our shop much more efficient. Our new TN-300 tubing notcher got delivered. Being a new business start up, cost and quality were very important to us. We considered a few different machines before I called Baileigh. Once I talked to them and asked some questions I knew Baileigh was going to be our choice.

I used the TN-300 this week to notch all of the tubing for the ladder bars we make. It saved me hours compared to our old machine. I can’t wait to use it to make the K-members for the chassis’.

Baileigh has a solid product! I look forward to buying more machines as our company grows.”

One of the metal shaping experts here at Baileigh Industrial recommended the MSS-16F Shrinker/Stretcher because of it’s unique tooling. It is oval in shape and leaves behind minimal marking.

Jason is very pleased and was kind enough to share some work he did in the engine compartment of this 51 Chevy Tin Woody.

If you are in the Alabama area and need work done to your ride give them a call or shoot them an email. From restoration to custom builds, they can do it all.
