Anyone know the Baileigh 5216 SBR?

[KansascityAL]

I am looking for a machine to use in my small 2 person shop that would allow us to brake, sheer, and more importantly roll pontoon boat pontoons. Metal is always 5052 and thickness is usually 0.090 but occasionally 0.125 width is usually 48 inch sheets.

Do you think this machine can handle this? Its over the rating but those are done for steel.

It will do it, but by the time you’ve made a half dozen cuts in .125 and rolled it, you will be wondering why you didn’t spend more and go with separate powered machings.

Seconded.

I avoid this company like the plague.

Got screwed once, never again. Used a few of their tools in friend's shops, confirmed my suspicions.

Three.

I have a press, no issues. THen decided to buy a Belt/Disc grinder. First one arrived damaged. After waiting around 4 months, 2nd one arrived bubble wrapped, and damaged as well. Wanted to return and get a refund ( stupidly accepted the delivery without checking ). I was willing to pay for shipping, just to get this junk out. They refused, ended up getting replacement parts from them.

Will no longer purchase this brand.

Im surprised Baileigh actually bothered changing the part numbers from the place in China that they buy alot of their stuff from https://www.ttmc.cn/3-11320x1-5/ . i have nothing against import tools, they get alot of stuff into the hands of people who are priced out of the market on bigger fabrication equipment, (myself included) but if your going import, atleast dont over pay for it because of a name brand sticker thats slapped on it. ( i know this isnt true for all of baileighs products)
