Well i like the video, an honest down to earth way of showing the faults, funny aswel the hanging on the bar, who cares about the gum chewing, people seem to wine about anything these days, the demonstration was real and interesting, my opinion from the London UK.

im so glad i saw this a few months ago i was ready to order one until i saw your video, i ended up saving more money and buying an ironworker from edwards...

Thanks for the review No Sale

Thanks for keeping this up for a warning for the rest of us.

Let's go, vote it up and run Baileigh out of town !

Thanks for showing this.

Thank you for this honest review !!

Thank you for the review. It was helpful.

Thanks to people like you and youtube, companies can't get away with this sort of deception. What's more, they get a bad name in no time.

Thanks for the time to post this and the WARNING not to buy.

I need a manual angle shear for 20-gauge sheet metal. Do you think this would work for that? Or do you have any suggestions on a tool that would work better?

The machine is designed to handle mild steel up to 5/8" round, not the 3/4" cut in the video. The plate thickness is limited to 5/16". Most of what was videod was out of the spec range for the machine. Use a bandsaw or plasma cutter for thicker stuff and save yourself headaches. The machine works great if you stay within specs. I set up my 20 Ton hydraulic press to handle thick stuff like this and got tooling from a company in Ohio.

I suppose that logic would suggest that simple leverage would be impossible to cut through 2" x 1/4" angle or the other thick stuff. That's what hydraulics are for. I always take the Manf specs and multiply by .5 to get a real world working spec. Especially with Stainless

I bought the same unit 3 years ago, sold it six month later. The compagnie is not honest with the capacity... when i was able to cut 1.5 x 1.5 x 1/8" angle iron, it was so torn that i had to use a big hammer to fold it back...

Very good video glad to see somebody's honest to show others

Looks good

Obviously it didn't work for your needs...what would you think of using it on thinner stuff.... 0.125 iron angle or 0.250 aluminum flat bar etc? New you can pick one up for less than $500 bucks now. I've got a bunch of saw cut stuff now that I'm thinking this could cut faster and no more deburring.

I was going to order one just for cutting angle, thanks for saving me the headache and I see 80 thumbs down, really?.....so it'would be my guess Baileigh's has about 80 people?

Thank you so very kindly because I was getting ready to spend $1,000 on the other one the one with the punch thank you very kindly that means I won't waste my time and money

If I had them as a sponsor I'd have it all.

I am set in the in the best position. Prior to purchasing i spoke with a Baileigh representative. I was insured that the SW-22M Manual Five Station Ironworker would work for all my applications This was not true from day one, Brand new out of the box . I called and emailed Bailegh for months. At first i just wanted it fixed. no help than I wanted my cash back. back in 2012 I asked Bailegh to post a video of the SW-22M Manual Five Station Ironworker Shear in action. Nothing still to this day

Thanks dude

Good Video , but would anyone be able to tell me, if a 20 inch one , 500mm would it be able to cut, 6mm plate steel. I have no idea, i should have my 20 inch Sedy in a few day's, but would love to hear some anwers, on my question. Cheers Karl in Australia .

That’s a nice shear but like most of them, they’re very optimistic about its limits. They fail to consider the arm and user. For heavier stuff, a cold cut chop saw, or bandsaw is the way to go

Hi . Have you ever put 4"×.25" flat bar in it ?

thanks for sharing , i can cross that off !

Any way you can attach a hydraulic ram to it? probably better to just sell it and cut your losses. Band Saw might be the better option

And If you shoot a video send me a link i would like to see it. and sounds like a deal for $250 . unlike the $2000 I spent on the sw-22m Thanks Jim

I was agreeing except where I believe you were putting more like 250lbs of force to move that lever. If you just put all your weight on it, I don't believe it would have gone through. I got a 12"X.25" shear on CL- The same exact thing as the one grainger sells for $250. I think the hole is .75" Maybe I will make a video where I hang weights from it until it shears the rod. anything more than 10 gauge, it flexes and just pushes the metal down instead of cutting it. If it sounds to good to be true

Heaver metal, and more leverage, for the cuts.I would be sending this thing back.

The manufacturer's testing lab probably hires a 275 lb defensive lineman to yank the lever. So, yeah, it'll cut the thick stuff - if you are a 275 lb defensive lineman.

It's still a heavy duty machine for being manually operated.

Kya price h es ka

No way that machine will cut that angle, don't need spec's to tell that. Now they say 5/8 max on the round

i saw the video from the company but the guy cut 1/8" thick plate very easy and hole too but 1/4" i will like see it

Wish I had watched this before buying one. I got the punch combo. The punch really sucks also.

180 bouncing is probably more like 250-300. Isn't there a "perfect" position for the concentric to be in so you get the most reduction in speed?

this is a very beautiful cutter i want to buy one piece i live in PAKISTAN what is the method of impoting thsi piece

hmmm..... the specs you quote or the machine are not what the website list. only rated for 5/8 bar, and smaller other stuff too....

That is really disappointing. Did you follow up with the company?

Baileigh is a chinese distributor...

See.......what you were supposed to is anchor a big snatch block to your driveway, then pull on the handle with the winch that's mounted to your truck!

Buy a band saw insted!

I hope they will refund your money 💰 For this nonsense Thanks for review

Chopper jig stand 😂

Did you get free hat tho lol

If the machine is strong enough, put a tube over the handle

Would help if you were trying to shear within the machine's rated capacity … Their website says 3/8 x 4" bar stock and 1/8 x 2 x 2 angle … Just sayin …

Buy some Mitutoyo verniers!

Wow that's disappointing. I thought that was a good company. I was just going to order one.

what he was chewing gum ? thanks for the review. I almost bought one but now I'm glad I didn't.

In My Option, seeing the date,, Balieigh, Has Had to done Some thing,or as Doughllas Allen said, we should All send a Copy Of this to Bailiegh!!!!!!!!!!,,I Know O WILL,we work to Hard To Piss away, 2 K for a Hunk Of Junk!!!!!!,for When after explaining what you Needed1,, Hope You Made Out,, Jack,,,,

there are tonnage charts online for shearing punching and breaking any thickness of steel anyone who is going to buy an iron worker should look at these charts to determine how much tonnage you will need to do your job and not end up with a piece of junk like you did it needs to be hydraulic if you are working with anything but sheet metal

Нафига городить огород если есть болгарка?

A Thumbs UP FOR YOU ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Surprised,The Bar isnt Bent,,, Baileigh was Allways Priced On There Name,,, What was The Cost????????? WOW,, a Used Iron worker,,is the way To GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks,, You Will Have some Big Arms, SOOOON,,, Beliegh will Give this for freee after seeing This VID!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks,, I Know what co to STAY aaway From,,, Jack,,,

hydraulic

Bailegh employees should be embarrassed of the false advertising with spec’s that are dishonest and bail on the industrial part of there name. Weak sauce

ALMOST SEEMS LIKE ITS SETUP 1 TOOTH OFF MAYBE 2. JUST A THOUGHT

Chinese

Yea this machine is for 10 gauge angle and 3/16 flat bar. Your way over working that thing haha

Very unsafe

its to heavy I was trying to buy the best of the best This machine is not worth the cash..Its cheaper to buy tables saw cold saw or even a band saw than this machine.

get a refund

So essentially the thing is a piece of crap!!!

Stop dude, just stop before you get a hernia. Use an angle grinder. You will hurt yourself if you keep using this machine

Just a word of advice next time you do a video take the gum out of your mouth. Listening to someone out of breath smacking their gum is worse than nails on a chalkboard.
