Baileigh MCB-650 Ornamental Bender
The Baileigh MCB-650 is a compact, manually-operated flat bar bender designed to help you create perfect curves and radii in flat metal, wire, rod, and bar stock up to 200 degrees - making it the ideal tool for bringing your ornamental metalwork projects to life without breaking the bank.
Are you tired of struggling with hammers and vices to bend flat metal? The MCB-650 from Baileigh Industrial is your solution for quick, economical, and professional metal bending. This compact manual bender is built specifically for craftspeople, fabricators, and metalworkers who need precision bends for railings, fences, gates, and decorative ironwork.
What sets this tool apart is its versatility and ease of use. You can bend up to 50mm x 6mm (or 8mm x 32mm for lighter material) mild steel with complete control, creating smooth curves and angles that would be nearly impossible to achieve by hand. The manual operation means you don't need electricity or complex setup - just mount it to your workbench and you're ready to start creating.
Whether you're a professional fabricator working on custom gates, a hobbyist creating decorative yard art, or a contractor installing ornamental railings, the MCB-650 gives you the power to produce consistent, professional-quality bends every single time. Its compact footprint won't take over your workshop, yet it's robust enough to handle demanding daily use in commercial fabrication shops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special skills or training to use the MCB650?
No special training required! If you can work with basic hand tools, you can master this bender. The manual operation gives you complete control, and with a bit of practice, you'll be producing professional-quality bends. Baileigh also provides lifetime technical support by phone if you ever need guidance.
Can this bender handle materials other than mild steel?
Absolutely! The MCB-650 works beautifully with a variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and wrought iron. Just remember that harder materials like stainless steel will require slightly smaller stock dimensions than the maximum mild steel capacity.
How do I mount this to my workbench?
The MCB-650 comes with all necessary mounting hardware and is designed for bench-mounting. You'll want a sturdy workbench or stand - the bending forces require a solid foundation. Most users bolt it down to a thick wooden bench or metal fabrication table. The compact footprint means it won't take up much space.
What's the difference between the radius die sizes, and which should I use?
The die size determines the tightness of your curve - smaller dies create tighter curves, larger dies create gentler sweeps. With 7 dies ranging from 25mm to 76mm, you have options for everything from tight decorative scrolls to broad architectural curves. Start with the middle sizes for general work and experiment to find what works best for your projects.
Is this suitable for production work, or just hobby use?
While it's priced affordably enough for serious hobbyists, the MCB-650 is absolutely production-ready. Many professional fabrication shops use this for daily ornamental work on railings, gates, and fencing projects. The manual operation means it's best suited for custom work and small to medium production runs rather than high-volume mass production.
