Description
Umprotech 96in 14ga Box & Pan Brake – Segmented Finger Brake
A robust 96 inch box and pan (finger) brake engineered for US sheet metal shops, HVAC fabricators, and prototyping teams. Designed for high-mix forming of ductwork, panels, and custom boxes in 14 gauge mild steel.
Capacity: 96 in · Material: 14 gauge mild steel · Segmented fingers: 1–4 in set
Key advantages for US buyers
- 96 inch working length handles full-size panels, duct sections, and large enclosures.
- 14 gauge mild steel capacity supports a wide range of shop and field parts; suitable for most HVAC, electrical, and fabrication jobs.
- Segmented finger set (1–4 inch mix) enables forming of complex boxes, pans, and channels with variable flange depths.
- Adjustable apron and angle stop improve repeatability for production runs and prototypes.
- Counterbalance springs reduce operator fatigue and support smooth operation even on longer bends.
- Back-gauge ready for improved accuracy and efficiency in repetitive forming tasks.
