The BB-7212 sheet metal brake is a 72" box and pan style brake that can be used as a straight brake or can even be configured to make up to 6" deep pans utilizing a combination of 17 hardened fingers of varied sizes. This brake weighs almost 2500 lbs and can easily bend up to 16 gauge stainless steel or 12 gauge mild steel. The apron rides on maintenance free bearings that increase accuracy and ease of the bend. A positive stop rod system is employed when multiple repeatable bends are required. The apron is rigidly and firmly supported by a heavy duty truss rod system that eliminates any deflection throughout the span of the apron. Minimal strength is required to operate the machine because of heavy counter-weights that reduce the effort needed. Like all Baileigh sheet metal equipment, the BB-7212 comes with a rigid bending stand that is the proper height to reduce operator error and fatigue and increase profitable production.
