New 3 in one Bend /Shear/ Roll

[Cars&Classic]

Anyone have a 3 in one? I would like to find pics of some different stands. I would rather have the 3 different units but I dont think space will allow since it is not a tool I would use every day.

looking to buid a stand to roll this in and out of a corner when stored, but wide enough that it does not try to tip during operation.

I am also thinking of making the cart and area under the unit into storage for flat stock to store scraps and leftover material when using it.

it is a 30"

I have a 40 inch. Picture of the stand I built near the end of this thread http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=136117

it works good for what it is. Separate machines would be better, but that is way more expense and floor space.

I have one like you pictured. I bought it at tractor supply and a friend made a stand with casters for it. Its like all multi tools. Does 3 jobs ok but not 3 jobs well. The shear is the best part. The brake works ok and I have never used the roller. I used it to make new footbox panels for my factory five cobra. I like your mustang, is it for sale?

Ditto!
Mine was a tractor supply clearance item and experience almost identical. The only thing Ive used it for was a patch panel on a 68 truck floorboard. Good tool for the price.

I have the Baileigh 5216, which is probably a little bigger than the one you show (weighs in at 1200 pounds). Here are a few pics of the Baileigh and the bench I built for it...

I designed the legs to give me room for mounting a vise...

The cross pieces on the legs are installed at the correct height to use my 12-ton, air-over-hydraulic bottle jack and wheel dollies to move the bench...

Some storage under the bench, with regular wire shelving...

For a smaller bench, just scale it down, like this general workbench I built about 15 years ago. You can see the smaller bench on the left. I used double-two-by-six construction on that bench, with a double-3/4"-plywood top...

Here are the wheels on that bench. It is stable when sitting still, but easily moved, if you tip it up on one end, like a wheelbarrow. These wheels are installed on just one end of the bench...

Hope you can find some ideas to help you here.

Kev,

How do you like the Bailegh? The consensus on the 3 in 1's is usually middle of the road. I've always wondered if the higher end machines perform significantly better. Thanks and sorry for the highjack.

I have a similar unit and I use a simple over-built A-frame saw horse designed bench with a top made to the width of the base of the 3 in 1 tool. Works well and has been in use for at least 15 yrs.

Just my opinion, but Bailegh is just well marketed, re-branded stuff. I'm not saying it's no good, but it seems a little over priced to me.
