Precision box and pan brake engineered for US job shops, HVAC, and prototyping. 36 inch working length and 14 gauge mild steel capacity, with segmented fingers for maximum flexibility.
Working length: 36 in · Capacity: 14 gauge mild steel · Finger set: 1–4 in segments
Key advantages for US buyers
- 36 inch working length accommodates common ductwork, panels, and box sizes.
- 14 gauge mild steel capacity covers most shop requirements for forming and prototyping.
- Segmented finger set (1–4 in mix) enables forming of custom boxes, pans, and enclosures with variable depths and flanges.
- Adjustable apron and angle stop for repeatable bends and consistent part quality.
- Counterbalance springs reduce operator fatigue during manual operation.
- Back-gauge ready for improved accuracy on repeat jobs and production runs.
Key technical specifications
Working length: 36 in
