The Baileigh Sheet Metal and Leaf Brake and Bender HB-4816E by Baileigh is a manually operated box and pan brake engineered for shops and fabricators who need consistent, accurate bends across a full 48-inch working length. Built on a fully welded steel frame and machined to exacting tolerances, this economical metal brake delivers crisp, reliable bend quality whether you are working on a single piece or running high-volume production batches. Key Features 16-gauge mild steel maximum capacity Bends across its full 48" (4-foot) length Maximum bend angle of 135 deg. Stop rod helps you create repeatable bends for production runs Adjustable blade gap lets you easily switch between different material thicknesses Material clamps at each end ensure that correct pressure is applied for each bend Fully welded steel frame with support rods minimizes flex and maximizes rigidity when bending at full capacity This sheet metal brake comes with a bolt-together stand Counterweight apron lift assist makes it easier for you to bend at full capacity Specifications MPN: BA9-1004650 Length: 48 in. Maximum Bend Degrees: 135 deg. Mild Steel Capacity Gauge: 16 Input Power: Manual Tons: 48" Country of Origin: China What's Included Baileigh HB-4816E Sheet Metal and Leaf Brake and Bender Bolt-together stand Frequently Asked Questions What is the maximum material thickness this brake can handle? The HB-4816E is rated for a maximum capacity of 16-gauge mild steel, making it well suited for a wide range of light to medium sheet metal fabrication tasks. How far can this brake bend material, and what is its working length? This brake bends across its full 48" (4-foot) length and achieves a maximum bend angle of 135 deg., giving you the flexibility to form a broad variety of profiles and angles. How does the HB-4816E help with repetitive production bending? The included stop rod helps you create repeatable bends for production runs, so you can consistently reproduce the same bend angle part after part without time-consuming re-measurement. What design elements help reduce operator fatigue and ensure consistent clamping pressure? A counterweight apron lift assist makes it easier for you to bend at full capacity, while material clamps at each end ensure that correct pressure is applied for each bend. The adjustable blade gap also lets you easily switch between different material thicknesses without a lengthy setup change.
