Baileigh PR-409 Plate Roller
The Baileigh PR-409 is a powerful single pinch hydraulic plate roll that transforms flat metal sheets into perfect cylinders and cones with professional precision and speed.
Designed for metal fabrication shops, this machine handles up to 3.8mm mild steel across its full 1219mm width, making light work of demanding production schedules.
When you need to roll metal quickly without sacrificing quality, the PR-409 delivers. This isn't your typical plate roll. With three driven rolls working together, you'll cut your forming time significantly compared to machines where only one or two rolls do the work. That means you can take on more jobs and finish them faster.
The PR-409 runs on a robust industrial-grade hydraulic system powered by a 2 hp motor. Everything operates smoothly through hydraulic power, from moving the back roll to controlling all three forming rolls simultaneously. You get the muscle you need for consistent, repeatable results on every job.
What really sets this machine apart is how easy it is to operate. The convenient foot pedestal puts all the controls right where you need them. Your foot controls forward and reverse movement, while buttons manage the up and down adjustment of the back roll. A digital readout shows you the exact position of the back roll, so you can achieve perfect repeatability on production runs. The heavy steel frame is machined to exacting tolerances, which means no deflection and consistent accuracy even under heavy loads. Whether you're fabricating HVAC ductwork, industrial tanks, cylindrical components, or custom metal projects, the PR-409 gives you the versatility and reliability to handle it all.
Applications
- HVAC Ductwork Fabrication: Roll round ducts, ventilation components, and air conditioning systems with consistent diameter control for professional installations.
- Tank and Vessel Production: Create cylindrical tanks, storage vessels, and pressure containers for industrial, agricultural, and commercial applications.
- Architectural Metalwork: Form curved panels, decorative cylinders, and custom architectural elements that make buildings stand out.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Produce cylindrical components, pipe sections, and rolled parts for equipment manufacturing and machinery production.
- Custom Cone Fabrication: With the optional coning attachment, create precise conical shapes for specialized applications, from industrial hoppers to decorative elements.
- Metal Roofing Components: Roll curved roofing panels and cylindrical architectural features for commercial and residential construction projects.
Key Features & Benefits
- Three Driven Rolls for Faster Production: All three rolls are powered and working together, which means you spend less time on each job. No more manually rotating material or making multiple passes to get the shape you need.
- Hydraulic Back Roll Adjustment: Fine-tune your bends with smooth hydraulic control. You get precise positioning every time, and the digital readout means you can replicate settings perfectly for production runs.
- Foot Pedal Operation: Keep your hands free to guide the material while your feet control the machine. Forward and reverse pedals plus buttons for back roll adjustment give you total control without reaching for switches.
- Digital Position Readout: See exactly where your back roll is positioned. This takes the guesswork out of setup and makes it simple to match previous jobs or maintain consistency across multiple pieces.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Frame: Built from solid steel and machined to tight tolerances, the frame stays rigid under load. That means no deflection, no wandering, and accurate results from the first piece to the last.
- Emergency Stop Cables: Safety comes first. Emergency stop cables mounted on both the front and back of the machine let you shut everything down instantly from wherever you're standing.
- Single-Pinch Design: The manual pinch adjustment is straightforward and reliable. Set it once for your material thickness, and you're ready to roll.
- Generous Working Capacity: With 1219mm of forming width and the ability to handle 3.8mm mild steel, you've got the capacity to tackle substantial projects without limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I roll materials other than mild steel?
Yes, the PR-409 can handle various metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. However, you'll need to adjust your expectations for thickness based on the material's properties. Softer materials like aluminum may allow for slightly thicker gauges, while harder materials like stainless steel will require reducing the thickness from the 3.8mm mild steel rating.
What's the tightest diameter I can roll?
The minimum forming diameter is 181mm (approximately 7.125 inches). This applies when rolling material at full capacity along the entire width. Keep in mind that narrower pieces or thinner materials can often achieve tighter diameters.
Do I need special electrical service for this machine?
Yes, you'll need 220V three-phase power. This is standard in most industrial and commercial fabrication shops. If you're setting up a new shop or don't currently have three-phase power, you'll need to have it installed by a qualified electrician before operating the machine.
How difficult is it to learn to operate the PR409?
Most operators become comfortable with the basic operation within a few hours. The foot pedal controls and digital readout make the learning curve much gentler than older mechanical systems. Baileigh provides lifetime technical support by phone, so you can get expert guidance whenever you have questions.
What maintenance does the machine require?
Regular maintenance is straightforward. Keep the hydraulic fluid at proper levels, lubricate the rolls and adjustment mechanisms according to the schedule in your manual, and keep the machine clean. The heavy-duty construction means you're looking at years of reliable service with basic care.
