Transform your workshop capabilities with the Baileigh BP-3, a multifunctional metal bench press that gives you the power of several machines in one compact footprint. With its impressive 3-ton capacity and electro welded steel plate frame, this manual press delivers professional results whether you're creating louvers for racing panels, making precise bends, or notching corners for custom fabrication work.
Built for the demands of dirt track chassis shops, custom automotive builders, and general metal fabrication environments, the BP-3 combines rugged construction with practical versatility. The deep 12-inch throat depth means you can work on a wide variety of projects, from small parts to larger panels, while the heavy welded steel structure ensures the frame stays rigid even when you're working at maximum capacity.
What makes this press especially valuable is its mobility and ease of use. Mounted on a sturdy wheeled floor stand, you can roll it exactly where you need it and tuck it away when you're done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BP3 require electricity or compressed air to operate?
No, the BP-3 is a completely manual press that operates using mechanical leverage. You don't need any electrical connections, hydraulic systems, or compressed air, making it perfect for shops with limited power availability or situations where you want a simple, maintenance-free solution.
What kind of optional tooling is available for this press?
The BP-3 accepts optional tooling for hole-punching, tube flaring, and shearing operations. These accessories are sold separately and allow you to customize the press for your specific applications. Contact Baileigh directly or your authorized dealer for information about compatible tooling options.
Can I use this press without the floor stand if I want to mount it on a bench?
While the BP-3 comes standard with a wheeled floor stand, you may be able to adapt it for bench mounting. However, you'll want to contact Baileigh's technical support team to discuss proper mounting requirements and ensure safe installation, as the press is designed and tested with the included stand configuration.
What's the difference between the 3ton capacity and the 2.6ton specification?
The 3-ton figure (US tons) and 2.6 metric tons refer to the same capacity, just expressed in different measurement systems. The press can exert approximately 6,000 pounds of force at maximum capacity.
Is this press suitable for production work or just occasional use?
The BP-3 is built with heavy-duty construction designed to handle regular shop use. While it's a manual press (so it requires more operator effort than a hydraulic model), its robust steel frame construction makes it suitable for small to medium production runs, especially in custom fabrication and racing applications where you need versatility and reliability.
