Choosing a Baileigh Bead Roller for Your Shop

Picking the right bead roller comes down to throat depth, drive type, and how much production volume you need. Browse manual and electric models below to find the right fit.

Baileigh Manual Bead Rollers

Manual bead rollers give you hand crank control at an entry-level price, ideal for occasional shop work. All four models share the same rugged geared drive design.

Baileigh BR-22 Manual Bead Roller

  • 7" throat depth
  • 22 gauge mild steel capacity
  • 52 lb net weight

A good fit for the shop that needs a light, low-cost bead roller for occasional trim and edge work.

Baileigh BF-035 Manual Bead Former

  • 3/8" tubing OD capacity
  • .035" maximum wall thickness
  • 6 lb net weight

Built specifically for beading small diameter tubing, not flat panels, so it suits shops running roll cage or exhaust work.

Baileigh BR-18M-18 Manual Bead Roller

  • 18" throat depth
  • 18 gauge mild steel capacity

  • 18 gauge mild steel capacity
  • 185 lb net weight

The largest manual model here, built for shops working full panels without stepping up to an electric drive.

Baileigh BR-18E-24 Electric Bead Roller

  • 24" throat depth

The entry point into electric power, with a foot pedal freeing both hands for guiding the panel.

Baileigh BR-18E-36 Electric Bead Roller

  • 36" throat depth
  • 16 gauge mild steel capacity
  • Forward and reverse foot pedal

Adds reach over the 24" model for shops that regularly work the middle of larger panels.

Baileigh BR-16E-36EV Electric Bead Roller

Baileigh BR-16E-36LT Electric Bead Roller

  • 36" lower throat depth
  • 16 gauge mild steel capacity
  • 550 lb net weight

The low-throat frame design gives easier access when working close to the floor of a deep panel.

  • 16 gauge mild steel capacity
  • 600 lb net weight

A standard 36" throat frame for shops that need reach without an envelope or low-throat configuration.

Baileigh Bead Rollers FAQs

What's the difference between a manual and electric bead roller?

A manual bead roller uses a hand crank, giving you full control at a lower cost. An electric bead roller like the BR-18E-24 adds motor power and a foot pedal, freeing both hands for higher volume work.

What throat depth do I need for a bead roller?

Throat depth sets how far into a panel you can reach. Small trim work fits within the BR-22's 7" throat, while full panels need a 36" throat like the BR-16E-36.

Can a bead roller work with aluminum as well as steel?

Most Baileigh bead rollers handle both mild steel and aluminum, though gauge capacity for aluminum runs thicker than steel. Check the specs on each model to confirm the gauge your project requires.

What's included with a Baileigh bead roller?

Most models include a set of forming rolls right out of the box, such as round, step, or crimp profiles. Check the What's Included section on each product page for the exact roll sets shipped.
