The BIFAB-9612 Box and Pan Brake has 96" of useful bending width so it can bend a 4' x 8'; the long way, up to 12 gauge mild steel, and 16 gauge stainless steel. This sheet metal tool has been rigidly built to withstand deflection in the apron area. The apron is reinforced with very heavy truss rods coupled to its massive all steel frame that is electro welded to withstand use at maximum capacity day in and day out for decades of quality bends. The heavy framework weighs in at an impressive 3200 lbs. This sheet metal brake's top apron has a 22 finger assortment of varying sizes to allow the operator to configure almost any box and pan up to a maximum depth of 6". The fingers and bending rail are hardened to produce extremely straight and tight bends for years of service, even in stainless steel. The bending apron has two massive counter weights to help assist the operator in fatigue free bending, even at maximum capacity. The apron side shafts ride in precision lube for life bearings that improves tolerance and longevity of apron. Like all Baileigh sheet metal equipment, the BIFAB-9612 comes mounted on a solid floor stand that improves efficiency and reduces operator fatigue.
