The Baileigh BB-4816E Sheet Metal Brake is a great machine for the sheet metal fabricator who is a hobbyist, light fabricator, or an educator at a local school. This brake is ideal for fabricators on a budget, but do not what to sacrifice quality in the bend just because of the lower price. The BB-4816E is made to Baileigh Industrial standards and will provide years of trouble-free use. For added rigidity, the framework on the BB-4816E is made from fully-welded steel plate. At maximum capacity, this box and pan brake can bend up to 16-gauge mild steel (20-gauge stainless steel) sheet metal up to 48 inches wide. A counter weight apron lift assist gives the operator a break when bending at full capacity. The BB-4816E sheet metal brake also comes standard with a gap adjustment, 16 hardened fingers of varying lengths, and a sturdy floor stand. Baileigh covers this sheet metal brake with a one-year parts warranty and lifetime technical support by phone.
