Using Baileigh tube bender to make handrails

[@petitwonders928]

Really nice work my friend. Great job showing work flow and your solid reasoning for it as well.

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

Thanks so much for watching. Hoping to get some new vids out soon.

[@olsparkywisenheimer8239]

Nice video. Always cool to see how shops set up for different projects.

olsparky wisenheimer thanks for watching. Hope you learned something and continue to follow along.

@@MattcoMetalWorks I'm always in to learn something new for sure. An open mind is my secret weapon. Lol I build about 1500' +/- of ADA handrail a year on average, so I'm always curious to see how other folks do things.

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

olsparky wisenheimer wow that’s crazy. I need to come learn from you then. I honestly don’t know how much linear footage we do but it keeps us busy for sure.

[@olsparkywisenheimer8239]

@@MattcoMetalWorks I'm just guessing on the footage honestly. I never set out to do that much, I just got hooked up with a few GC's that do nothing but schools. So a bit of luck was involved. Plus PW jobs are such a pain with paperwork here in Ca most little shops don't want to mess with it. I have a structural steel contractors license, but I found my niche doing the jobs too small for the big shops to worry about. But those are nice jobs for a little shop like mine.

Nice work Matt!

Thank you

I loved it. Thank you.

pipe vs tubing size description is a bit off- tube size actually measures the number. 2" tube is 2" od. Pipe sizes are not inside diameter- its still the od, but it doesn't measure the number given as size. The inside diameter of pipe changes as the schedules get thicker. But, you can thread a piece of sch. 10 pipe and screw it into the same fitting as a piece of sch. 120.

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

Thank you sir.

[@noahsmith9675]

Awesome video! Are you using a true radius or elliptical die to bend the pipe?

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

Not 100% what exactly that means but would assume true radius

[@user-mb4se6km5p]

How do I find a formula for the measurements 90 45 32?

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

I’ll have to do another video explaining better the angles

[@camarenamartinjc]

Whats the cost for those handrail per foot? I have to built some but i dont have idea how much to charge. Thanks

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

That is a loaded question, the price per ft will change depending on what type of rail, materials used, mounting conditions, paint or powder coat. You could be anywhere from $50-$125 per foot

[@korey6289]

How do I find my point to mark when bending?

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

I’ll have to do a video explaining

[@korey6289]

@@MattcoMetalWorks please do. I started fabrication I can do obvious things such as miters and copes but haven't yet figured out bending.

[@equilskateboarding7676]

Would you mind telling me the model of the Baleigh bender?

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

The model in this video is the Baileigh 125, We sold that last year and upgraded to the Baileigh 250 with index table.

@@MattcoMetalWorks thanks!

[@Happydayzgurl]

Great work! What kind of resin do you use to hold in place post after core drill?

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

we use non shrink pour rock, purchased at fastenal most of the time

[@jaystachowiak3540]

In the dirt??? That must be a Southern thing.

[@MattcoMetalWorks]

Not sure what you mean? We don’t core drill dirt. We install some rails in dirt by using post hole diggers and setting them in concrete. That’s what I mean by that

[@jaystachowiak3540]

Well... not sure why(at the end of the video) the rail on the right is on the stair as it should be, and the rail on the left is in the dirt? I hope some old lady doesn't hig that rail on the left and snap her ankle because she steps off the side of the stair! Why not move the rail onto the stair where it should be? Is there a minimum stair width in your state? They look plenty wide.
