Baileigh PR-514 Plate Roller
The Baileigh PR-514 is a hydraulically powered plate roll designed for small to medium fabrication shops that need professional results without breaking the bank. With a 1550mm forming width and 2mm mild steel capacity, this machine turns flat sheet metal into precise cylinders, cones, and curved components with remarkable ease.
Are you tired of outsourcing your plate rolling work or struggling with manual equipment that just can't keep up? The PR-514 delivers the power and precision you need in a compact, workshop friendly package. This isn't just another plate roll. It's a carefully engineered metalworking solution that combines hydraulic back roll adjustment with user friendly controls to give you repeatable, accurate results every single time.
What sets the PR-514 apart is its thoughtful design. You get three driven rolls powered by a reliable 220V single-phase motor, so you won't need expensive three-phase power installation. The hydraulic back roll adjustment means you can dial in your settings with precision, while the manual pinch adjustment gives you hands-on control where it matters. Whether you're rolling ventilation ductwork, creating custom tanks, forming architectural elements, or fabricating structural components, this machine handles it all with confidence.
Built on a rigid steel frame machined to exacting tolerances, the PR-514 minimizes deflection even when working at full capacity. The remote control pedestal puts all your controls right at your fingertips, including foot pedal operation that keeps your hands free to guide the material. A digital readout displays back roll position clearly, positioned right at the head of the machine where you can see it from any angle. This means you can repeat bends perfectly every time without guesswork or wasted material. For fabricators who value both quality and efficiency, the PR-514 is the workhorse that pays for itself.
Applications
- HVAC and Ductwork Fabrication: Roll circular and spiral ductwork, ventilation components, and custom air handling systems up to 2mm mild steel thickness
- Tank and Vessel Manufacturing: Create cylindrical tanks, pressure vessels, storage containers, and custom drums for agricultural, industrial, and commercial applications
- Architectural Metalwork: Form curved panels, decorative column covers, rounded facades, and custom architectural details for building exteriors and interiors
- Automotive and Transportation: Fabricate fenders, wheel arches, body panels, truck bed sides, and custom automotive restoration components
- Industrial Equipment Manufacturing: Produce machinery guards, conveyor housings, protective shields, and custom enclosures for industrial equipment
- General Fabrication Work: Roll tubes, pipes, rings, and curved sections for machinery, furniture, artistic installations, and custom fabrication projects
Key Features & Benefits
- 1550mm (61") Working Width: You get plenty of capacity for most small to medium projects, from HVAC components to custom tanks, without the footprint or cost of larger industrial machines. This sweet spot size handles the majority of fabrication shop work efficiently.
- Hydraulic Back Roll Adjustment: Forget about cranking manual handles for hours. The hydraulic system moves the back roll up and down smoothly and precisely, saving you time and giving you consistent results. You can make micro-adjustments on the fly without stopping your workflow.
- Three Driven Rolls at 6 RPM: All three rolls are powered and work together to grip and move your material confidently through the machine. The 6 RPM speed gives you excellent control, so you can watch your work form accurately without rushing.
- Digital Readout (DRO) System: No more guessing or taking measurements between passes. The DRO shows you exactly where your back roll is positioned, so you can return to that exact setting instantly. This means repeatable bends, less material waste, and faster setup times for production runs.
- Remote Control Pedestal with Foot Pedals: Your hands stay free to guide the material while your feet control the rolling action. The ergonomic pedestal design means you can operate the machine comfortably all day long, with intuitive controls that put everything within easy reach.
- 140mm Minimum Forming Diameter: Create tight radius bends and smaller diameter cylinders that many plate rolls simply can't achieve. This versatility means you can take on a wider range of projects with one machine.
- Standard 220V Single-Phase Power: You don't need expensive three-phase electrical installation. This machine plugs into standard single-phase 220V power, making it perfect for smaller shops, mobile fabrication setups, or locations where three-phase isn't available.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Frame Construction: Built to last, the precision-machined steel frame resists deflection even when you're working at full capacity. This means your rolls stay parallel, your cylinders come out round, and your machine maintains accuracy year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run this machine on standard workshop power, or do I need special electrical installation?
Great news! The PR-514 runs on standard 220V single-phase power, which is available in most workshops. You won't need expensive three-phase electrical installation, making this machine perfect for smaller shops or facilities without three-phase power access.
What's the thickest material I can roll with the PR514?
The PR-514 handles up to 2mm (14 gauge) mild steel across its full 1550mm width. For stainless steel or aluminum, which have different material properties, your capacity may vary slightly. The machine can handle thinner materials with ease, making it versatile for a wide range of projects.
How tight of a radius can I achieve with this plate roll?
The minimum forming diameter is 140mm (about 5.5 inches), which is excellent for a machine in this class. This means you can create relatively tight cylinders and cones for applications like small tanks, ductwork, or decorative elements. Keep in mind that your material thickness will affect the minimum radius you can achieve.
Is the machine difficult to learn, or do I need specialized training?
The PR-514 is designed with user-friendliness in mind. The intuitive foot pedal controls and clear digital readout make it straightforward to learn, even for operators new to plate rolling. That said, Baileigh includes lifetime technical support from their team of experienced metalworking professionals, so you can call anytime you need guidance or have questions.
How do I maintain this machine to keep it running smoothly?
Regular maintenance is straightforward. Keep the rolls clean and free from debris, periodically check and maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels, lubricate moving parts according to the manual, and inspect the machine for any loose fasteners or worn components. The operation manual provides a detailed maintenance schedule. With proper care, this machine will serve you reliably for many years.
What if I need replacement parts or accessories down the road?
Baileigh backs the PR-514 with a 1-year parts warranty and maintains a comprehensive parts inventory for all their machines. You can contact their support team directly for replacement parts, and they offer lifetime technical support to help you identify exactly what you need.
