Baileigh BR-18E-36 Powered Bead Rolling Machine

The Baileigh BR-18E-36 is a 36-inch electric bead roller designed for professional fabricators who demand deep throat capacity, smooth power delivery, and precise bead-forming performance. Ideal for automotive restoration, custom metal shaping, aircraft panels, and HVAC fabrication, this machine produces consistent, high-quality results on large sheet-metal panels that smaller bead rollers simply can’t handle.

Driven by a variable-speed industrial motor, the BR-18E-36 provides smooth, controlled rotation, allowing operators to precisely adjust forming pressure for materials ranging from light-gauge aluminum to 16-gauge mild steel. Hands-free foot pedal operation improves material control, while the rigid, fully welded steel frame resists flexing to deliver crisp, uniform beads across long workpieces.

• 36″ throat depth enables forming beads, steps, and complex profiles on large automotive, aircraft and fabrication panels
• Electric variable-speed drive delivers smooth, consistent forming across a wide range of metal types and thicknesses
• Hands-free foot pedal control allows precise material positioning while improving accuracy and operator control
• Heavy-duty welded frame resists flexing to maintain uniform bead depth over long workpieces
• Industrial-grade shafts and bearings ensure smooth operation and long-term durability
• Standard tooling set included lets you begin forming beads, steps and strengthening ribs immediately
• Pedestal-style stand provides a stable and ergonomic working height while freeing valuable bench space
• Rigid spine and support system maintains proper alignment for consistent and professional-quality results
• Ideal for multiple applications, including automotive restoration, metal shaping, HVAC ducting, race fabrication and aircraft skin forming
