Baileigh Shrinker Stretchers FAQs

What is the difference between a shrinker and a stretcher?

A shrinker compresses metal to form tighter curves, like inside edges of a panel. A stretcher expands metal to form wider curves, like flares. Most Baileigh models, such as the MSS-16, do both jobs with separate jaw sets.

Should I get a manual or hydraulic shrinker stretcher?

Manual models like the MSS-18 work well for occasional shaping. If you run frequent production work, the MSS-14H uses hydraulic power to speed up repeat cycles.

What gauge steel can a Baileigh shrinker stretcher handle?

Capacity varies by model, from 18 gauge on the MSS-18DT up to 14 gauge on the MSS-14H. Check the specs on each product page before choosing.

What makes Baileigh shrinker stretchers different?

Several Baileigh models use quick-change magnetic jaws, so you can switch between shrinking and stretching in seconds without extra tools or a second machine.
