Baileigh SH-8010 Hydraulic Guillotine
The Baileigh SH-8010 is a professional grade hydraulic guillotine shear designed to cut sheet metal up to 80 inches wide with precision and speed. This industrial powerhouse handles 10 gauge mild steel and 13 gauge stainless steel, making it the perfect solution for fabrication shops looking to boost production without sacrificing accuracy.
Are you tired of struggling with undersized equipment that slows down your workflow? The SH-8010 changes the game. Built around a fully welded steel plate frame, this hydraulic shear delivers the rigidity and durability you need for years of full capacity use. Whether you're running a small fabrication shop or managing high volume production, this machine keeps pace with your demands.
What sets the SH-8010 apart is its intelligent design focused on your productivity. The industrial-grade hydraulic system produces smooth, controlled movements that extend blade life while delivering clean cuts every single time. You can process up to 26 strokes per minute, which means more parts finished and more profit in your pocket. The adjustable 24 inch back gauge ensures your cuts are repeatable and accurate, eliminating costly material waste.
This isn't just another piece of equipment taking up floor space. The SH-8010 is your partner in metal fabrication. It's designed for professional metal fabricators, HVAC contractors, automotive customizers, architectural metal workers, and manufacturing facilities who demand precision and reliability. The machine gives you complete control with three operating modes, so you can adapt to any job from delicate prototype work to high-speed production runs.
Applications
- Ductwork Fabrication: Cut straight, clean edges on sheet metal for ductwork, enclosures, and ventilation components without burrs or deformation
- Automotive Restoration and Customization: Shape body panels, trim pieces, and custom metal components with precision for classic car builds and modifications
- Architectural Metal Work: Process metal panels, trim, and decorative elements for building facades, interior features, and structural components
- General Metal Fabrication: Handle everyday cutting tasks in machine shops, from brackets and enclosures to custom parts and prototypes
- Manufacturing Production Runs: Execute high-volume cutting operations for appliances, electrical cabinets, and industrial equipment housing
- Sheet Metal Shop Operations: Manage diverse cutting requirements from small custom jobs to large-scale commercial projects with one versatile machine
Key Features & Benefits
- 80-Inch Cutting Capacity: You can process standard 4x8 foot sheets the short way or handle specialized cuts up to 80 inches wide, giving you the flexibility to tackle any project size
- Multi-Edge Blade System: Save money with blades that have 4 shearing edges. When one edge dulls, simply rotate the blade for a fresh cutting surface, extending blade life four times longer than single-edge alternatives
- Three Intelligent Operating Modes: Switch between Inch mode for precise positioning, Single mode for controlled one-cut operations, or Auto mode for continuous production. You choose the pace that matches your project
- Hydraulic Hold-Down System: Material stays firmly clamped to the table during cutting, eliminating lift and twist that can ruin your workpiece and damage blades
- Adjustable 24-Inch Back Gauge: Set it once and repeat the same cut dozens or hundreds of times with confidence. Your measurements stay accurate, your material usage stays efficient
- Front Support Arms with Guides: Keep your material perfectly square to the blade automatically. No more angled cuts or wasted material from misalignment
- Fully Welded Steel Construction: This isn't a machine that will flex or lose accuracy over time. The rigid frame maintains precision even at full capacity, year after year
- Industrial 5 HP Motor: Powered by 400V 3-phase electricity, you get consistent, reliable performance without motor strain or power dips during operation

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the SH8010 and the SH8010HD?
The standard SH-8010 runs on a 5 HP motor and is perfect for most fabrication shops. The HD (Heavy Duty) version features a more powerful 7.5 HP motor, 13 hold-downs instead of the standard configuration, additional roller bars on the table, and enhanced features like a shadow line positioner. If you're running heavy production or frequently working at maximum capacity, the HD model provides extra durability. For general fabrication work, the standard SH-8010 offers excellent value and performance.
Do I need special electrical service to run this machine?
Yes, the SH-8010 requires 400V 3-phase power (European specification). This is standard in industrial facilities but may not be available in residential settings. You'll want to verify your shop has the proper electrical service before purchasing. If you're unsure, consult with a licensed electrician. The machine cannot run on single-phase or standard household power.
How difficult is blade maintenance and replacement?
It's actually quite straightforward. The blades have four cutting edges, so when one edge dulls, you can rotate the blade to use a fresh edge. When all four edges are worn, replacement is a simple process that takes about 30 minutes with basic tools. Baileigh keeps replacement blades in stock for fast shipping, and lifetime technical support is available if you need guidance.
Can this machine cut aluminum and other nonferrous metals?
Absolutely. While the specifications list capacity in terms of mild steel and stainless steel, the SH-8010 handles aluminum, copper, and other soft metals with ease. Generally, you can cut non-ferrous metals in thicker gauges than steel because they're softer. Always start with test cuts to determine optimal settings for your specific material.
What kind of maintenance does the SH8010 require?
Maintenance is minimal but important. Regular tasks include checking hydraulic fluid levels monthly, inspecting blade condition, keeping the machine clean, and lubricating moving parts according to the maintenance schedule in your manual. The hydraulic system is located at the front for easy access during fluid changes. Most shops find they can handle routine maintenance in-house without special training. Following the maintenance schedule ensures decades of reliable service.
