Baileigh R-M60 Manual Ring Roller
The Baileigh R-M60 is a professional grade manual ring roller designed for fabrication shops needing reliable, high-capacity profile bending with the convenience of single phase power. With its impressive 63mm round tube capacity and three driven rolls, this machine delivers the performance you need for everything from ornamental metalwork to industrial fabrication projects.
When you need a roll bender that can handle serious capacity without requiring three phase power, the R-M60 steps up to the challenge. This is the newest addition to Baileigh Industrial's respected roll bender lineup, and it's built to tackle 2" schedule 40 pipe, making it remarkably capable for a manual top shaft machine with two driven rolls.
What sets the R-M60 apart is its intelligent design. The variable speed inverter with overload protection lets you fine tune your rolling speed based on the material you're working with. Whether you're bending mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, you have complete control over the process. The large ratchet mechanism for adjusting the top roll gives you excellent leverage, while the built in scale ensures you can repeat bends consistently every single time.
Versatility is built into every aspect of this machine. You can operate it vertically for your smaller rolling projects, or tip it horizontally for those larger diameter pieces. The feet on both the bottom and back make this transition smooth and safe. Standard equipment includes foot pedal controls that keep your hands free for guiding material, segment rolls for various profiles, and lateral roll guides that prevent material twist during bending. Made in Portugal with heavy steel plate construction, the R-M60 is engineered for years of accurate, productive work in fabrication shops or even out in the field on job sites. All it needs is standard 220V single-phase power.
Applications
- Ornamental Metalwork: Create decorative circles, spirals, and curved elements for gates, railings, and architectural features
- Stair Railings and Handrails: Bend pipes and tubes to precise radii for commercial and residential staircase projects
- Agricultural Equipment: Roll hoops and frames for livestock feeders, hay equipment, and farm machinery components
- Industrial Fabrication: Produce coils, rings, and curved sections for machinery guards, conveyor systems, and structural frames
- Automotive and Motorsport: Form roll cages, frame components, and custom exhaust systems with consistent, repeatable bends
- Metal Art and Sculpture: Shape tubes, bars, and angle iron into artistic curved forms for sculptures and installations
Key Features & Benefits
- Three Driven Rolls for Superior Control: Unlike single-driven roll machines, all three rolls on the R-M60 are powered, giving you better material grip and more consistent bends throughout the entire circumference. This means less manual adjustment and faster production.
- Variable Speed Inverter with Overload Protection: Fine-tune your rolling speed to match your material type and thickness. The overload protection safeguards the motor and extends the machine's working life, giving you peace of mind during demanding operations.
- Dual Position Operation: Work vertically for compact projects or horizontally for large diameter bends. This flexibility means you can handle a wider range of work without needing multiple machines or awkward workarounds.
- Manual Ratchet Top Roll with Position Scale: The large ratchet gives you excellent mechanical advantage for adjusting forming pressure, while the position indicator ensures you can repeat bends with precision. Perfect for production runs where consistency matters.
- Foot Pedal Controls: Keep both hands free to guide your material while controlling forward and reverse with your foot. This ergonomic design improves safety and gives you better control over the bending process.
- Heavy Steel Plate Construction: Built from robust steel plate rather than lightweight materials, the R-M60 minimizes flex and maintains accuracy even at full capacity. This is a machine that will serve your shop for decades, not just years.
- Segment Rolls Included: Start working immediately with the included segment roll tooling suitable for flat bar, angle iron, and square tubing. No need to purchase expensive extras just to get started.
- Single-Phase Power Operation: Run this capable machine on standard 220V single-phase power. No need for expensive three-phase installations, making it perfect for smaller shops or field work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the RM60 make complete circles, or just large radius bends?
Yes, the R-M60 can roll complete circles. The three driven roll design and manual ratcheting top roll give you the control needed to close circles completely. For tighter circles, you may need to make multiple passes, gradually increasing pressure on the top roll.
What additional tooling do I need for rolling round pipe and tube?
The R-M60 comes standard with segment rolls suitable for flat bar, angle iron, and some square profiles. For dedicated round tube and pipe work, Baileigh offers optional tooling sets specifically designed for various pipe and tube sizes. Contact your Baileigh dealer to discuss your specific application and determine which optional tooling would best suit your needs.
Can this machine handle stainless steel or aluminum, or just mild steel?
While all published capacities are based on mild steel with 60,000 PSI tensile strength, the R-M60 can work with stainless steel and aluminum. For stainless steel, reduce the capacity by approximately 20-30% depending on the grade. Aluminum can typically be rolled at or near the published capacities. The variable speed control helps you optimize the rolling speed for different materials.
How difficult is it to switch between vertical and horizontal operation?
The R-M60 is designed with feet on both the bottom and back specifically to make position changes safe and manageable. While the machine weighs 453 kg, the tipping process is straightforward with proper assistance and equipment. Many shops use the horizontal position for large diameter work and keep it vertical for daily operations.
What kind of maintenance does the RM60 require?
The R-M60 features hardened rolling shafts and robust construction that requires minimal maintenance. Regular care includes keeping the shafts clean, checking for proper lubrication of moving parts, ensuring the ratchet mechanism operates smoothly, and verifying electrical connections periodically. Baileigh provides lifetime technical support, so you can always call for maintenance guidance specific to your usage patterns.
