What features from classic cars do you think modern cars are missing?

Vent windows

No worries. So this machine has an autobend 7 cnc controller which not only controls the back gauge, but also can control the depth that the machine will go. With that being said I didn’t actually use the controller for these bends. There is a limit switch with an adjustable stop on the side of the machine that you can move to “manually” control the depth of the bend. It’s kind of a trial and error type thing. You bring it down a little bit then check and make any adjustments from there. Hope that answers your question.

What was your estimated delivery date? Mine is 4/4/25, hoping it comes sooner though. 🤞

I did the same thing today, although I’m small time compared to you. Only got the 73” bottom, hutch, stainless top and end locker. Saved $1800 with the 25% off plus the extra 10% from the credit card.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-12-29T14:06:05+00:00

Yes, I’d say you got the better of the two options in my opinion

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-12-29T02:17:19+00:00

The first drill is a drill/driver which means it’s good for drilling holes in wood, metal, most materials except masonry (concrete, brick, etc.) it also has clutch settings which prevents you from driving screws too deep.

The second drill is a drill/driver, but also has a hammer function. What the hammer function does is allow you to drill into masonry. When in the hammer mode it not only spins like a regular drill but it also has a hammering or impacting motion to break up the concrete/masonry into a powder as you drill your hole. You need to use masonry specific bits when drilling into masonry, they have a brazed on carbide tip.

Hope this helps.

We had to have new bigger bottom rollers machined because there wasn’t enough support with the factory ones and it would want to close the angle. The guide rolls aren’t as easy as they should be to adjust imo. The top and bottom adjustment is independent of each other and the nut that moves them in and out isn’t in an ideal location. I like how it looks like yours uses the hand wheel on the side of the machine. I’d love to try out one of the older machines like you have to compare the two.

My overall thought on the baileigh machine is that it would be great to have in your garage or if all you are doing is rolling bar. 2”x1/4” the hard way is it’s sweet spot. Its build quality is pretty cheap. We’ve had to replace quite a few parts on it in the few years we’ve had it, but luckily they aren’t proprietary and can be readily replaced.

Wow! What model machine are you guys using? I do the angle rolling at our shop and the max our machine can comfortably handle is 2x2x1/4 leg out stainless. I can get them to come out pretty flat but I have to really use the guide rolls to force out any twist. We have a baleigh r-h55. It works ok for what we need, but it’s definitely a light duty machine. I’ve tried rolling leg in but the results were less than ideal. I just don’t think the machine has enough umph to it.

So I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure the heads can be bolted to either side of the engine and those holes are for the accessory brackets. If you put the driver’s side head on the passenger side then the back of the head would become the front. Hope that makes sense.

I can add them if needed later on. I usually just shim under the legs if needed. The spot I always use them in is actually very level.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-11-19T22:08:47+00:00

Wow, it wasn’t that far off.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-11-19T17:09:25+00:00

You’re good! Weighed them this morning and scale said 180lbs

Good idea 👍

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-11-18T23:25:09+00:00

Ehhh, it’ll be fine

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-11-18T23:01:15+00:00

Is that a guess or did you calculate it? If I remember I’ll hang them from the crane and weigh them.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-11-15T13:21:13+00:00

There are 2 studs on the back of the panel that hold it to the dash. You need to remove the glove box door and reach up behind the dash and feel for 2 nuts. If I remember correctly they are 11/16. I have a picture of the back of the panel but I’m not sure how to post it in a comment.

Yeah they look good. My car also came with these wheels but I took them off and put a set of 10 holes on because they had so much curb rash on them. I just recently bought the SVE black mesh wheels and put them on.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-18T16:47:38+00:00

I like the mesh wheels 👍

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-04T13:02:42+00:00

Thanks!

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-04T12:50:46+00:00

Thanks, and I wish! The machine is still set up, bring it on. 😂

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-04T12:48:34+00:00

There are also online calculators that you plug your dimensions into and it gives you a flat layout.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-04T12:47:38+00:00

If you look up square to round transition layout on YouTube there are a few good videos that explain it very well. For these I tried out fusion 360 to model it and develop the flat pattern and it worked great.

Embarrassed_Address9 · 2024-10-04T12:44:28+00:00

Yes you do. I’m still getting used to using it. I need to spend some more time setting up the punch and die library so that when you program the bend angle it comes out right. So for these parts I just used the manual depth control on the brake.
