Baileigh BB-2416E 24" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 16 Gauge
Are you looking for a compact hand brake that handles light sheet metal work without taking up half your shop floor?
What if your shop had a manual brake that bends box and pan forms accurately without requiring power or a complex setup?
Meet the Baileigh BB-2416E 24" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 16 Gauge, a floor-standing hand brake built for small fabrication shops and light sheet metal work.
With a steel plate frame, counterweight apron lift assist, and five hardened fingers, the BB-2416E handles mild steel up to 16 gauge across a full 24 inch working width.
When the brake holds square and the bend comes out clean, you can focus on the work instead of fighting your tooling.

Baileigh BB-2416E for Light Sheet Metal Box and Pan Forming
Steel Plate Frame Resists Flex Under Load
The BB-2416E is built on a steel plate framework designed to hold its shape through repeated bending cycles. A rigid frame keeps the bending leaf aligned and helps maintain consistent bend angles across the full 24 inch working width.
Counterweight Apron Lift Reduces Operator Effort
A counterweight assist on the bending leaf reduces the effort needed to lift the apron through each bend cycle. This makes repeated forming tasks easier to manage during a full work session.
Hardened Fingers Allow Box and Pan Forming
Five hardened fingers of varying lengths come included for forming box and pan shapes up to 1.18 inches deep. The finger arrangement lets you remove sections to clear formed sides when bending boxes or pans.
