Baileigh BB-3616E 36" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 16 Gauge
Are you struggling to get clean, square bends on box and pan work without a brake built for that job?
What if your shop had a manual brake with adjustable fingers that cleared the sides of a box without a second setup?
Meet the Baileigh BB-3616E 36" Manual Box & Pan Brake, a plate steel brake built for accurate box, pan, and flat sheet forming.
With six included fingers, a 36 inch bending length, and a heavy counterweight to assist apron lift, the brake handles forming work up to 16 gauge mild steel.
When the fingers hold position through a run of parts, you can bend box after box with confidence in the result.

Baileigh BB-3616E for Box, Pan, and Flat Sheet Forming
Six Adjustable Fingers Enable Box and Pan Forming
The brake includes six adjustable fingers that can be repositioned or removed to clear material during a box or pan bend. Finger gap adjustment accommodates different material gauges so you can dial in the setup for the job at hand.
Plate Steel Frame Holds Position Through Each Bend
The frame is built from plate steel with an electro-welded structure for rigidity under load. That construction keeps the brake stable through repeated bends and helps maintain crisp, accurate angles at full 16 gauge capacity.
Counterweight Assists Apron Lift During Operation
A heavy counterweight offsets the weight of the apron so lifting it takes less effort over a full work session. This makes the brake easier to operate on longer runs without wearing out the operator.
135 Degree Bend Capacity Covers Most Forming Work
The brake bends up to 135 degrees, which covers the full range of standard box and pan fabrication angles. A maximum box depth of 1.375 inches gives you room to form typical sheet metal enclosures without running out of clearance.
