Milling Machine Definition

“A milling machine is a machine tool in which a horizontal arbor or vertical spindle rotates a cutting tool above a horizontal table, which is used to move a workpiece. A milling machine will shave off small sections of the metal until the final product is produced.”

Vertical Mill Machine

In vertical mill machine,  the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling cutters are held in the spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be extended, or the table raised or lowered to produce the same effect, to allow for plunge cuts and drilling. At Baileigh Industrial we offer 2 vertical mill lines: economical E models and production mills that last for decades.

Types of Milling Machine Operations

Milling machines are used for a whole host of applications, which is why there are 15 types of milling machine operations: 

1. Face Milling

2. Side Milling

3. Plain Milling

4. Straddle Milling

5. Angular Milling

6. Gang Milling

7. Form Milling

8. Profile Milling:

9. End Milling

What is a bandsaw?

A simple definition is that it’s a saw with a long blade that consists of a continuous band of metal with saw teeth, stretched between two or more wheels. 

While the blade is continuously moving, only a small part of it is exposed in the cutting area. The blade circulates around the flywheels within the bow of the saw. It then descends through the workpiece towards the table of the saw. The work piece is moved into a heavy-duty vice and secured. This is where the saw creates the cuts. The narrow size of the blade allows for detailed, intricate cuts.

Can you cut metal with a bandsaw?

At Baileigh Industrial we know everything there is to know about bandsaws. A question we get asked regularly is ‘can you cut metal with a bandsaw?’ The answer is, yes. A bandsaw; also known as a metal cutting saw is designed for large volumes of work and applications. The most popular application is metal cutting. Specially designed blades for metal allow the bandsaw to handle the materials better while limiting waste and allowing for better control.

Baileigh Industrial supplies a massive range of bandsaw machines so we have something for every application. Whether you need a vertical metal bandsaw or a horizontal bandsaw, we’ve got you covered. A bandsaw offers astounding versatility when it comes to making any kind of cut. We also stock a variety of replacement bandsaw blades to suit every machine that we sell.

Advantages of a metal cutting saw

There are numerous benefits of using a metal cutting saw over any other tool for cutting materials. Its performance far outweighs other cutting tools and here are a few reasons why: 

• Although perfect for cutting a variety of metals, many bandsaws can also be used for cutting different materials. Such as, timber, wood, and many more.
• Bandsaws speed up the cutting process without compromising quality. 
• Bandsaws are far more efficient at cutting straight edges and delivering a precise finish. This is because of their quality blades with varying features. 
• Bandsaws produce less waste because of their narrower blades, which ultimately saves you money.  

Above are just a few advantages of the metal cutting saw. But, if you would like to discuss further how our bandsaws could help you or your business head to our website today. Alternatively, call +44 (0)24 7661 9267 to speak to a member of our helpful and friendly team.

Workshop presses can also be known as hydraulic presses, or Bramah presses, after the person who invented it (Joseph Bramah). 

How does a Hydraulic Press work exactly?

Based on Pascal’s principle, a hydraulic press is similar in functionality to a hydraulic system. 

And just like a hydraulic system, it has a cylinder, pistons, the hydraulic pipes, etc. Its functionality is very simple. A hydraulic press works when pressure is applied to a confined fluid (such as oil). The pressure pushes the fluids from a smaller cylinder (slave cylinder), into the larger cylinder (master cylinder). The force applied on the fluids, by the smaller cylinder, results in a larger force when pushed in the master cylinder. 

Metal working machines are mostly used for industrial purposes. Specifically where a large pressure is required for compressing metals into thin sheets (sheet metal). A 60 tonne hydraulic press, for example, will use the metal to be worked upon along with the assistance of the press plates to crush or punch the material into a thin sheet.

What can a Hydraulic Press be used for?

The great thing about workshop presses is that they can be adjusted to suit the needs of each individual project. This prolongs the lifespan of the machine, as it reduces the risk of damage. An industrial hydraulic press will often be used to crush or to press metals such as steel plates, aluminum rolls, metallic ores, etc. and for punching, blanking, moulding, clinching and forging. You will regularly see metalworking machines in the automotive and aerospace industries. 

Benefits of Workshop Presses

Workshop presses are particularly beneficial as they can compress any material to its maximum. Also, due to their ability to compress a large pressure in a cylinder having a less diameter, they are great for saving space in the facility. Other benefits include: 

• Built-in overload protection
• Safe machine to operate
• Small in size
• Low cost to run and maintain
• Quiet in use
• Versatile applications

As you can see, workshop presses offer a multitude of benefits. They are an extremely versatile piece of equipment. Its simple working mechanism make it a firm favourite for many industries.

How does a Plasma Cutter work?

Plasma cutting tables work by sending an electric arc through a gas that is guided through a constricted nozzle. This process increases the temperature of the gas to the point that it enters a 4th state of matter, known as plasma. The first three being solid, liquid and gas. The metal that is being cut forms part of the circuit. As a result, the electrical conductivity of the plasma causes the arc to transfer to the work.

Due to the restricted opening, the gas that passes through is squeezed at a high speed. This high speed gas cuts through the metal material. Materials cut with a plasma torch include steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper. Other conductive metals may be cut as well. 

Benefits of Plasma Cutting Tables

Efficiency

A plasma torch cutter operates with extreme efficiency. They can often cut up to 200 inches per minute. Due to the high speed and precision cuts, combined with low cost, plasma cutting sees widespread use in a range of industries. For example in fabrication shops, automotive repair and restoration, industrial construction, plus many more.

Cutting Power

Plasma cutting tables are able to cut materials much thicker than other machines and processes, without affecting the end result. Metal fabrication machines offer significant benefits by delivering a powerful cutting solution for difficult and challenging industrial projects.

Our Plasma Cutters

The series of metal fabrication machines we offer are powerful, economical and produce high quality results. Baileigh Industrial torches can cut up to 40mm mild, and tables from 2′ x 2′, up to our 10′ table, encompassing the needs of hobbyists and production facilities alike.

Additional Benefits

In addition to the benefits outlined above, we also provide excellent support for our plasma cutting tables. For more information, head to our website. Alternatively, call +44 (0)24 7661 9267 to speak to a member of our helpful and friendly team.

The post Plasma Cutting Tables Used for Efficient and Reliable Results appeared first on Baileigh UK.

At Baileigh Industrial we specialise in sheet metal brakes and sheet metal bonding tools that deliver quality results. But what is a sheet metal brake? This is a tool used to bend various types of metal. It’s a tool that can be used for varying applications but has many beneficial uses. The tool is often used in the motorsport industry for applications such as roll cages, space frame chassis, impact protection, and suspension. Using a sheet metal brake maximises efficiency. However, it also ensures you get a consistent, fit-for-purpose bend every time. 

The major components of a sheet metal brake are:

• Clamps to hold the sheet metal
• A bending plate where the sheet metal rests
• A lever that lifts the bending plate until you have the desired angle

Like all Baileigh Industrial products, hydraulic sheet metal brakes are built to the highest standards. They boast a fully welded top beam, bending leaf and solid steel support rods. These help minimise any deflection when bending at full capacity.

Preparation

Like with any project, the best place to start is by measuring not once, but twice. By measuring twice, you can avoid multiple bending attempts. Use a tape measure find the required length. Then, transfer that measurement to the metal sheet using a marker. For optimal results, make sure the tool is oiled in preparation for use. 

Cutting the metal

Before using the brake, cut all of the sheet metal required for the project. This will make it a lot easier to bend. Trying to cut the sheet metal once it has already been bent will be significantly more challenging. It’s a good idea to use a guillotine to cut the material, as this will give you the precision you need. 

Using a sheet metal brake

Once you have all the sheet metal required for the project cut to the desired sizes, it’s time to make the first bend using a sheet metal brake. Slide the metal into the brake until the measurement marks line up with the clamps on either side. Then, simply lower the clamping lever using the handle on the side of the brake and fix it against the sheet metal.

Bending

Once in place, lift the lever on the bending blade so that the metal moves up toward the sheet metal brake. Using the angle guide on the side of the brake bend the metal until the angle indicator shows the correct angle. Stay in that position for a few seconds before replacing the lever back to its original starting point. 

Final checks

Now all that is left to do is remove the sheet metal and check the bend matches your required angle. If the bend is not quite right you can always reinsert the metal into the clamps and bend the metal until you have the correct angle. 

It’s as simple as that! But if you have any questions about using a sheet metal brake or about our sheet metal bending tools then head to our website today. Alternatively, call +44 (0)24 7661 9267 to a member of our helpful and experienced team.
