Baileigh SH-6010 Hydraulic Guillotine
The Baileigh SH-6010 is a professional-grade 60" hydraulic metal shear designed to deliver clean, precise cuts through 10 gauge mild steel and 13 gauge stainless steel, making it your go to solution for high volume fabrication and sheet metal work.
Are you tired of inconsistent cuts that waste material and cost you time? The SH-6010 hydraulic shear solves this problem with its fully welded metal plate frame construction that virtually eliminates flex, even when cutting at maximum capacity. This means you get straight, accurate cuts every single time, which translates directly to less material waste and higher quality finished products.
Built with industrial-grade hydraulics, this machine produces smooth, controlled movements that not only make operation easier but also significantly extend blade life. What does this mean for you? Lower operating costs and fewer interruptions to replace worn blades. The 5 hp motor delivers reliable cutting power at up to 26 strokes per minute, giving you the throughput you need to meet demanding production schedules without sacrificing cut quality.
Perfect for fabrication shops, HVAC contractors, automotive manufacturers, and metal working professionals, the SH-6010 handles everything from thin 24 gauge sheet metal to heavy 10 gauge plate. The 60" cutting length accommodates standard sheet sizes, while the adjustable 24" back gauge ensures repeatable accuracy for production runs. Whether you're cutting ductwork components, automotive panels, enclosures, or structural steel, this machine gives you the precision and reliability your business depends on.
Applications
- Ductwork Fabrication: Cut galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheets to precise dimensions for custom duct systems, fittings, and transition pieces with clean edges that reduce installation time.
- Automotive Component Manufacturing: Process body panels, brackets, reinforcement plates, and structural components with the precision needed for proper fit and finish in vehicle assembly.
- Electrical Enclosure Production: Create clean, burr-free cuts for control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings where dimensional accuracy matters for professional installations.
- Architectural Metalwork: Prepare materials for decorative panels, cladding systems, railings, and custom fixtures where straight cuts and smooth edges are essential for visual appeal.
- General Fabrication: Handle everyday shop tasks including cutting blanks for press brake operations, preparing material for welding projects, and processing sheet stock for various manufacturing applications.
- Signage and Display Manufacturing: Cut aluminum and steel sheets for commercial signs, displays, and promotional materials where precision edges eliminate the need for secondary finishing operations.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fully Welded Steel Plate Frame: The rigid construction minimizes flex during cutting, which means you achieve consistently straight cuts even when working at full capacity. This saves you money by reducing material waste and rework.
- Industrial-Grade Hydraulic System: Smooth, controlled blade movement extends blade life and delivers effortless cuts through thick material. You'll spend less time fighting the machine and more time being productive.
- Four-Sided Blade Economy: Each blade has four cutting edges, so when one edge dulls, simply rotate it to a fresh edge. This innovative design extends blade life by 400% compared to single-edge blades, dramatically reducing your consumable costs.
- Hydraulic Hold-Down System: Automatically clamps your material firmly to the table before each cut, preventing lifting that can cause inaccurate cuts or damaged blades. This gives you confidence that every cut will be straight and square.
- Three Operating Modes: Choose Inch mode to position the blade precisely, Single mode for one cut per pedal press, or Auto mode for continuous production cutting. This flexibility lets you work efficiently whether you're setting up a job or running large batches.
- Adjustable 24" Back Gauge: Set your desired cutting dimension once and produce identical pieces all day long. The precise back gauge ensures repeatability that's critical for production work and reduces setup time between cuts.
- Front Support Arms and Table Guides: Keep your material perfectly square to the blade throughout the cutting process. This eliminates angled cuts and material shifting that waste time and materials.
- 5 HP Three-Phase Motor: Delivers reliable power for cutting up to 10 gauge mild steel (13 gauge stainless) at 26 strokes per minute, giving you the production capacity to meet demanding schedules without overworking the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the mild steel and stainless steel cutting capacities?
The SH-6010 can cut 10 gauge mild steel or 13 gauge stainless steel. Stainless steel is harder than mild steel, so the machine handles a slightly thinner gauge. Both capacities accommodate the vast majority of sheet metal fabrication applications, and the machine handles everything from 24 gauge up to these maximums.
How often do I need to replace or rotate the blades?
That depends on your usage and materials, but the four-sided blade design means you'll get four times the life of traditional blades. When you notice cut quality declining, simply rotate the blades to a fresh edge. Many shops get months or even years of use before needing replacement blades, and Baileigh stocks replacements for fast shipping when you do need them.
Can I operate this machine on singlephase power?
No, the SH-6010 requires 400V three-phase power (EU specification). This industrial power requirement provides the consistent, reliable performance needed for professional fabrication work. Make sure your facility has appropriate three-phase service before ordering. If you need a different power configuration, check with your supplier about alternative models.
Do I need special equipment to unload this machine when it arrives?
Yes, at 3,000 lbs, this is a serious piece of equipment. You'll need either a loading dock with a forklift, or you can request lift gate service from the freight carrier for an additional fee. The machine ships on a pallet and requires proper material handling equipment. Plan your receiving area accordingly to ensure safe unloading.
Is this suitable for a small shop or just for highvolume production?
While the SH-6010 is built for durability and high-volume work, it's equally perfect for smaller shops that demand professional results. The three operating modes (Inch, Single, and Auto) make it versatile for both one-off custom jobs and production runs. If you need clean, accurate cuts and want equipment that will last for decades, this machine fits shops of any size.
