The
History of Bailey Dual Roller Drive |
|
"The Bailey Mini
Might 16 slab roller is an excellent portable slab roller for my
studio. I enjoy the ease of rolling slabs with it. It is great for
making wrap around vases, platters, bowls and sculptures. The
slabs are perfectly even and consistent thickness. I like the
durable metal gears that drive the rollers and the overall
simplicity of the design."
— Karl
R. Kuehn |
|
Our
first slab rollers were built in 1974. From the beginning, Bailey
Rollers became famous for their innovation and precision. In a
thorough evaluation of all existing slab rollers, Studio Potter
Magazine stated, “The Bailey represented the most sophisticated
solution to the business of making slabs. It was superior in its
ease of handling, design, and general adaptation to any studio
situation.” The Bailey Slab Rollers are “Dual Roller Drive”.
With this process, clay and canvas are drawn through two steel
rollers which turn at a one-to-one ratio. The tremendous force
required to compress the clay is equalized between the two
rollers. This two roller process insures that the thickness of the
finished slab remains perfectly even from side to side. Because
the Dual Roller Drive process draws the clay through the
stationary machine, the operator can stand in a stationary upright
position and turn the drive wheel. |

Bailey Mini 22" Table Roller
The New Bailey Mini 22" Table Roller utilizes the same dependable “dual
roller drive” process as other top-of-the-line Bailey models. A sturdy
hand crank delivers ample leverage to effortlessly roll slabs through
the machine. This machine is virtually indestructible!
The New Bailey Mini 22" Table Roller design is a combination
slab roller and table mount in one machine. You get perfect slabs every
time. Take notice of the small textured rollers. The reduced diameter
of the rollers (in combination with the 15” crank) is the reason that it
is so easy to roll a slab. The thickness is varied by adding or removing
Masonite shims. Every machine is supplied with a set of Masonite shims and
a slab sheet. This improved version includes side guides to keep the Masonite
on center as they pass through the rollers.
The Bailey Mini 22" Table Roller is ready to use by
setting on your own existing sturdy table. With the addition of the Mini
Leg Set, the Mini 22” Table Roller is converted into a free standing
table. Assembly required for Roller and Table.
Specifications:
Slab Dimensions: 22” wide x
24” long
(longer slabs possible with longer shims)
Thickness Variable: 1/8” to 3/4”, in 1/8” intervals. Additional
shim material can be added to roll 1/16" slabs.
Drive System: Twin Gear Drive, Oilite Bushings
Overall Dimensions: 24” X 48” X 5” H (not including
legs).

Bailey Basic
30 Slab Roller

Bailey Basic 30 Slab
Roller
The economical Bailey Basic 30
Slab Roller is the perfect slab roller for the serious hobbyist
potter. This machine is intended to offer all the professional features
for potters who require a low volume output of slabs. When used with this
expectation, the machine will last a lifetime. Professionals intending to
use a slab roller for demanding production should refer to our DRD/II and
DRD original rollers with more robust gears and bearings.
Features
The rollers are 30” wide and made of knurled aluminum. A 23”round
wheel combined with 1.7 to 1 internal gear reduction provides much
easier turning compared to other similar competitive models which have
direct drive & no gear reduction. When feeding clay through the
Bailey Basic 30, the clay should not be piled up more than 1” than the
desired thickness. This will provide easy turning and less wear on the
machine. Each machine includes a round handle and canvas.
Simultaneous height adjustment is made simple
at one side of the machine. An accurate inch scale is provided for
accurate measurements.
Bailey Bi-Level 52"
Table (optional)
At only 4’-4” long, the Bailey Basic 30 Table is a great
space saver in a small studio. Unlike other brand tables, the machine
is off to one side. The feed area is smaller so you get a full 32"
area for your finished slab and work area. This is a great advantage!
The Bailey table is bi-level with as a lower feed counter so
there is better gripping of the canvas and clay. The slab counter
is higher (almost level with the top of the bottom roller) so the slab
rolls out without bunching. The slab roller can be set up to roll
left to right, or right to left. Shipped knocked down. Assembly required.

This new shorter table is a real space saver. As with all

middle) which gives ample area for feeding the clay through, while
yielding more valuable work space for the finished slab side.

Bailey DRD/II
Slab Roller
Outstanding
Performance.
Unprecedented Value.
We are very proud of the DRD/II. Our engineers succeeded in
building a thoroughly professional roller, with all the logical
and rugged features you expect from Bailey, but at an extremely
affordable price. Never before has a professional slab roller
offered so much value.
Various brands of slab rollers
may look similar, but how do they perform? Just look at the “One
Pass Slabbing” photo and you will see proof of how a Bailey
can roll a large mass of clay in one pass to a desired thickness.
Bailey rollers are designed to offer indefinite service with this
kind of load.
You might assume all slab
rollers can perform like a Bailey, but guess again. One of our
competitors builds a slab roller that should be called a “slab
smoother”. Their machine requires several passes to form a slab,
or you are severely restricted in how high you can pile the clay
when feeding it through the machine.
The DRD/II
series comes with a canvas and a 4 spoke handle (not pictured).
An optional 34" diameter round wheel is available. This large
wheel gives ample leverage to make rolling easier and more fluid.
For classrooms, be sure to order the reverse threaded handle
adaptor for the gear model. This will prevent students from
damaging the machine.
There are two table options. The
larger 6’ long table has a full 48” long area on the right
side of the machine to work on the finished slab. A new shorter 4'
long table has a 32" work area. This 4' long table is a real
space saver for a small studio. All Bailey tables have a small
feed counter with the machine offset on the table (not in the
middle) which gives more area for the finished slab on the right
side of the machine.
Both the 24" & 30"
wide DRD/II models can ship economically via UPS. Five (5) Year
Warranty.

Bailey
Slab Roller Features |
 |
|
 |
| Our
all steel gear reduction is available on the
30" and the 24"-Gear Reduced models. This gear
reduction makes slab rolling much easier compared to
direct drive. Bailey never uses nylon or plastic gears
which can break under load. Our machines use only
machined steel gears. |
|
Simultaneous
Height Adjustment
Let’s get the facts straight. Independent
side-to-side height adjustments are a hassle, not a help.
Tapered slabs are a nuisance! With a Bailey, you turn only
one knob to raise the upper roller with perfect precision.
A height scale makes measurements from 1/32 to 1-1/2"
easy to read. |
| |
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
One
Pass Slabbing
Wedgeable clay can be piled as high as 3”, and rolled in
one pass to form a slab. Other brands require multiple
passes to form a slab.
Dual
Level Table
Note our unique bi-level table tops. The feed counter
is lower which increases the surface contact of the clay
with the bottom roller, providing perfect compression. The
finished slab projects out on the raised counter for the
longest possible slab travel.
|
|
Extra
Protection for Schools and Workshops
The Reverse-Threaded Handle Adapter
The DRD/II 30" and 24"-G models
are designed for one way travel only during slab
compression. The machine has a ratchet to prevent reverse
rotation of the rollers. The optional Reverse-Threaded
Handle Adapter prevents any mechanical damage due to
abuse from students who might apply unreasonable force by
turning the handle the wrong direction until they break
the ratchet or gear. The reverse threaded adapter has
reverse threads that will simply unscrew the handle
instead of breaking the ratchet mechanism should a student
forcefully turn the wheel the wrong direction. This
adapter will retrofit on existing DRD/II 30 and 24G models
(not the 24). |
