Baileigh BR-18M-18 Manual Bead Roller — 18" Throat
Are you struggling to get clean, consistent beads on larger panels without the reach or control you need?
What if you had a manual bead roller built from heavy plate steel with enough throat depth to work hoods, roofs, and deck panels without fighting the machine?
Meet the Baileigh BR-18M-18 Manual Bead Roller, an 18-gauge capable hand-crank bead roller with an 18-inch throat and six included roll sets ready to use from day one.
With the BR-18M-18, you get a rigid steel body, bronze-bushed drive shafts, and adjustable forming depth so your beads stay accurate and repeatable across the full length of a panel.
When your shop demands clean metal forming results on real panel work, the BR-18M-18 gives you the reach and control to get there.
Baileigh BR-18M-18 for Consistent Manual Bead Rolling on Large Panels
18-Inch Throat Depth Reaches Deeper Panels
The 18-inch throat on the BR-18M-18 lets you work further into large sheet metal panels than a short-throat machine allows. Hoods, roofs, door skins, and deck panels all stay within reach without repositioning the work. You get full access to the bead location without fighting the frame.
Rigid Steel Body Keeps Beads Accurate
The frame is built from heavy plate steel to minimize flex under load. When the body stays rigid, the rolls stay aligned and your bead depth stays consistent from one end of the panel to the other. This matters most on longer passes where frame flex in a lighter machine would cause the bead to wander or lose depth.
Bronze Bushings Support Smooth, Long-Term Drive Shaft Performance
The drive shafts on the BR-18M-18 ride in quality bronze bushings rather than plain bores. Bronze bushings reduce friction, handle side loads well, and hold up to daily shop use without wearing out quickly. The hand crank turns smoothly and the rolls track evenly as a result.
Six Included Roll Sets Cover the Most Common Bead Profiles
The BR-18M-18 comes with six sets of roll dies covering the profiles most shops need from day one. The stand includes a roll rack so your tooling stays organized and close at hand. Switching between profiles is straightforward, and the adjustable top roll lets you dial in forming depth for each pass.
