BAILEIGH

At Baileigh Industrial®, we design and manufacture industrial metalworking and woodworking machinery that delivers reliable, precise results over decades of use. Since 1999, we’ve taken pride in earning a reputation for innovation and customer satisfaction.

What sets Baileigh Industrial apart from other brands?

CUTTING-EDGE DESIGNS
It’s no exaggeration to say that we lead the industry. For instance, in 2002 our RDB-150 became the first hydraulic tube bender to execute 180° bends in one shot. Each Baileigh Industrial machine is engineered to exacting standards of endurance, convenience, and accuracy. But we don't reat on our past accomplishments, through continuous improvment, we’re always looking for ways to make them better.

'UPGRADES' COME STANDARD
Many of those features that other companies consider 'extras' are automatically part of the package when you buy a machine from us. For example, our saws, drills, and lathes often include powerful coolant systems to extend tooling longevity. We also equip many products with die sets to accommodate a wide range of projects.

QUALITY PARTS AND MATERIALS
We use only the best component parts, like Siemens® controls and Delta® inverters, to build equipment that you can depend on. On a structural level, our heavy-duty machines draw strength and stamina from frameworks made of solid steel castings.

KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE TEAM
Baileigh support representatives all have years of hands-on experience working with our products—figuring out solutions for applications like yours. When you call us, you’ll talk to real technical specialists, not sales reps reading answers from a script!

LIFETIME TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Whether you’d like advice on a project 10 days or 10 years after you buy a Baileigh machine, we’re happy to help. There’s no limit on our commitment to after-sale service. Our machines last a long time and we want you to get the most out of them.

BUILDPRO

What is BuildPro™

The BuildPro™ table is designed to increase welding productivity through use of a fast, accurate, and easy to understand modular fixture system. The patented BuildPro™ plate + slot + hole system allows users to place clamps and components at any point on the tabletop as required for each unique fixturing project.
BuildPro™ is a fast, accurate, and easy to understand modular fixture system.
Why BuildPro™

Place a BuildPro™ Table in your shop, and you will discover how universal fixturing will benefit your operation in greater productivity, improved work quality, and reduced project lead times in prototyping, short production runs, or dedicated volume production runs.

BuildPro™ has a place in every fabrication environment where precise layout and fast clamping setups help drive success; they have found their way into a variety of fabrication processes such as gluing, fastening, and assembly involving materials from wood to composites and laminates.

BuildPro™ pairs well with 3D modeling programs using our free downloadable CAD library and is especially helpful for creating a hybrid modular + custom fixture solution.

A hybrid system saves storage space, fixture design time, and fixture production costs by enabling the user to create custom fixtures which index off the BuildPro™ grid system and interface with its modular fixtures.

A hybrid modular-custom fixture solution takes the worry out of creating "dedicated" fixtures for short production runs where there are concerns about engineering changes, tooling expenses, or storage space.

Hybrid modular-custom fixture strategies let you focus on getting those critical dimensions right and the work delivered on time.
BuildPro™ Agility - Combine and Maximize Your Capabilities

3D Printing and CNC Cutting
It’s now even simpler and faster to create prototype or low volume fixtures using 3D printers, wood/aluminum CNC milling machines, or CNC plasma cutters.

Hard Automation
Take advantage of the BuildPro™ table’s indexing functions by adapting hard automation equipment such as track mounted welding bugs or semi-automatic drilling stations to the table which can be quickly rearranged or moved as work dictates.

Robotic Arc Welding
Robotic Arc Welding equipment is becoming less expensive to acquire and easier to program and operate year after year, yet the cost of tool and fixture design has remained relatively static.

Custom tooling and fixture design can easily double the upfront cost required to automate your welding processes and add planning bottlenecks and unforeseen costs during future product changes. Hybrid modular-custom fixture systems are an ideal way to keep startup costs low and retain a higher level of in-house control over the design and production process.

For high mix, low volume operations in particular, hybrid modular-custom fixturing can offer a great balance between design flexibility and tool changeover speed while providing the precision required by automated systems.

PHASE CHANGE CONVERTERS

Phase Change Converters originated in Australia as a designer and manufacturer of 3 phase power converters. In Australia, we are based in the small township of Longwarry, 100km east of Melbourne and do understand 'first-hand' the power problems often experienced outside the major cities where 3 phase power is often not available or is expensive to connect.

Having gained real world application experience in the manufacturing and the application of 'traditional' rotary converters and also discovering the limitations of other converters with 'hi-tech' controllers, led us to investing in the development of a smarter, more capable Australian designed and manufactured microprocessor based controller. The controller is the 'heart' of the converter, and plays a vital role in the overall performance and capability of the finished power converter.

Establishing a small team of electrical, microprocessor and power electronics specialists, the ideas and theory of this new controller, became a reality. Having destroyed a significant amount of electronic parts in the early experimental process, the first of the working prototypes was developed. This was then field tested for performance and reliability. Once proven, this new controller formed the basis of the Phase-Changer converter.

We believe the Phase-Changer range of converters offers a unique and reliable high performance 3 phase power converter at a realistic price. While the original business has been built in the Australian domestic market, we have been keen to offer this technology to other parts of the world.

In China, Phase Changers are being manufactured and sold within China under a technology licensing agreement with Ningbo Zhongce E.T Electronics Co Ltd, a major manufacturer of electrical equipment based in Ningbo.

In Australia, parallel manufacturing of converters has and will continue. This is to ensure quality standards are comparable and on-going product development and improvements are never neglected. Regular visits to the Chinese operation from Australia has become a part of our normal routine.

With the factory in China, we can manufacture in volume at very good prices. Consequently we are now seeking distributors in many other countries. Countries currently represented are listed on the international page. If you are interested in joining us in this unique business opportunity, please contact Mark Bridgman (see international page for contact details).

STARRETT

Where It Began
The L.S. Starrett Company was founded 1880 in Athol, MA, which is still the Company’s World Headquarters. Our founder, Laroy S. Starrett invented the combination square in 1877. He started the company to manufacture this product. The company grew rapidly with a broadening product line, additional employees and penetration into an increasing number of markets. Starrett has a history and reputation so rich and solid that the words “quality” and “Starrett” have become virtually synonymous.

Today, the company employs about 1,800 people worldwide. Most precision tools continue to be manufactured in the Athol plant, where it is not uncommon to see devoted generations of toolmakers with 30 or more years of experience.

Precision Tools, Gages and Instruments

The broad Starrett product line includes precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, rules, etc.), levels, electronic gages, dial indicators, gage blocks and granite surface plates and custom engineered products. The company offers metrology equipment including optical measuring projectors, vision systems and multi-sensor measuring systems, many of which are custom engineered. The precision group also includes M1 lubricant, precision ground flat stock and drill rod. Starrett hand measuring tools and other precision products are used by manufacturing companies of many types and sizes to ensure the quality of their products.
Saws & Hand Tools

While best known for precision tools in the United States, Starrett is also a major, worldwide manufacturer of saw blade products. The saw blade product group includes three categories. Band saw blades are used primarily in manufacturing facilities. The Power Tool Accessories and Hand Saws group include hole saws, jig and reciprocating blades and hacksaw products. The jobsite and workshop group includes tape measures, levels, protractors and other tools used primarily on construction jobsites and workshops.
Wide Market Penetration and Distribution

Starrett tools are essential for the many products that are measured, cut, formed or assembled. They are used in a broad range of manufacturing facilities as an essential part of metalworking, the manufacturing of durable goods, for working with exotic materials and in a wide variety of traditional and newer industries such as electronics, aerospace, energy and many others.

Starrett products are sold throughout the United States and worldwide through distributors, dealers, and retailers and online. In recent years, the Company has broadened its product offering through acquisitions and innovative product line expansion.

Today, Starrett has eight manufacturing locations worldwide: Brazil, The U.K. and China and five in the United States. See Manufacturing Facilities Worldwide for more detailed information.
