Baileigh BB-14418 144" Heavy Duty Manual Box & Pan Brake — 18 Gauge
Are you forming long sheet metal runs on a brake that twists under load and loses accuracy at the ends?
What if your shop had a 12-foot manual brake that held its shape from one end to the other without flex?
Meet the Baileigh BB-14418 144" Heavy Duty Manual Box & Pan Brake, a full-length finger brake built for serious fabrication work.
With an electro-welded steel frame, 31 interchangeable fingers, and dual counterweights across the full 144 inch working width, the brake stays rigid and balanced through every bend.
When the brake holds true from end to end, you can move through long sheet runs with consistent results and less rework.

Baileigh BB-14418 for Large-Format Sheet Metal Forming
Electro-Welded Frame Resists Twist Under Load
The BB-14418 is built on an electro-welded steel frame that holds its shape even when bending across the full 144 inch width. A rigid frame keeps the bend angle consistent from the center of the brake to each end without correction between hits.
Interchangeable Fingers Handle a Wide Range of Box Shapes
Thirty-one hardened fingers in four lengths — 3, 4, 5, and 6 inch — let you configure the brake for nearly any box or pan shape. Fingers swap without special tools, so you can change setups to match the next part without losing your place in the work.
Dual Counterweights Reduce Effort Across Full Length
Two large counterweights are positioned along the brake to balance the clamping beam across its 12-foot span. This reduces the physical effort needed to operate the brake at full working width, keeping the work steady through longer bending sessions.
Manual Operation Keeps the Brake Simple and Reliable
The BB-14418 runs entirely on hand operation with no electrical hookup required. That keeps the machine simple to place in your shop, simple to maintain, and ready to run wherever you need it.
