Frequently Asked Questions
Can the RM7 roll complete circles?
No, the R-M7 is specifically designed for large radius bends, not full circles. If you need to create complete rings, you'll want to look at Baileigh's R-M10 or larger models with open-face designs. The R-M7 excels at sweeping curves, arcs, and radius bends that are common in architectural and ornamental work.
What materials can I bend with this machine?
The R-M7 handles mild steel up to 60,000 PSI tensile strength as standard. You can work with round tube, pipe, flat bar, and rectangular tubing within the specified capacities. For harder materials like stainless steel or materials with higher tensile strength, contact Baileigh technical support to discuss optional tooling and capacity adjustments.
Do I need special tooling for different tube sizes?
The machine comes with 1-1/2" OD tube dies as standard. For other sizes and shapes, Baileigh offers a wide range of optional tooling sets. This modular approach means you can start with the basics and add tooling as your project needs expand.
How much physical effort does manual operation require?
Thanks to the precision ball bearing system and well-engineered manual crank, the R-M7 operates surprisingly smoothly. While it does require manual effort (it's not motorized), most users find the operation comfortable and manageable, even for extended bending sessions. The mechanical advantage built into the design reduces the physical strain significantly.
Is this suitable for a beginner or hobby metalworker?
Absolutely! The R-M7 is an excellent choice for beginners because it's simple to operate, doesn't require electrical hookup, and gives you direct hands-on control. You'll develop a feel for metal bending quickly, and the compact size won't overwhelm a small workshop. Professional fabricators also love it for its portability and reliability on job sites.
