Baleigh 48″ Magnetic Brake

I got my magnetic brake today. The main assembly is still in the garage, as it’s bloody heavy. I will hopefully get it set up this coming weekend, and run a few test bends.

Baleigh 24″ Powered Bead Roller

Today I received my powered bead roller and dies from Baleigh Industrial.  Assembly was pain-free; merely had to bolt the roller assembly to the stand, and I was rolling a few tests in minutes.

Then, of course, I had to unbolt the roller assembly, so I could drill and fasten some casters and levelers (scavenged from an el-cheapo Harbor Freight mobile equipment base). I wasn’t careful placing the casters, so they only roll well in one direction…I’ll need to move them a bit farther inboard to ensure free motion in all directions.
