The BB-4812 Box and Pan Brake can handle up to 48 inch wide 16 gauge stainless steel, and 12 gauge mild steel. This sheet metal brake is great for the general fabrication workshop that doesn't need to bend widths beyond 48 inches. This is a very strong machine that can put perfectly straight and tight bends into materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. This sheet metal brake has heavy duty truss rods coupled to an electro-welded all steel frame and uses hardened fingers that will produce minimal deflection, even when bending a box up to 6 inches deep. The apron has precision maintenance-free bearings and dual counter weights to assist any bend up to the maximum capacity, making it very precise and easy to operate piece of equipment. The BB-4812 comes standard with a ridged floor stand and three 3", two 4", five 5" and one 6" hardened fingers. This combination of fingers allows the operator to build almost any size of box and pan that is required, up to 48" wide. The heavy duty apron has a solid stop rod system allowing this bending brake to be a repeatable machine for multiple production runs of the same item. This sheet metal bending machine's heavy all steel constructed framework weighs in at 2000 lbs(909 kg).
