Baileigh BB-4012F 40" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 12 Gauge
Are you looking for a manual box and pan brake that handles a full 40 inches of bending width without a complicated setup?
What if your shop had a brake that formed clean, consistent bends on sheet metal parts without power requirements or hydraulic maintenance?
Meet the Baileigh BB-4012F 40" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 12 Gauge, a finger brake built for accurate bending on mild steel up to 12 gauge.
With removable hardened fingers, a foot-controlled clamp, and a 40 inch working width, the BB-4012F handles box and pan work across a wide range of part sizes.
When the fingers lock in place and the bend comes out square, you can work through a run of parts with confidence.

Baileigh BB-4012F for Box and Pan Sheet Metal Bending
Hardened Fingers in Assorted Widths Support Box and Pan Work
The brake includes hardened fingers in assorted widths that you remove or rearrange to clear material when forming boxes, pans, and channels. This lets you shape parts that a straight brake cannot form without repositioning or secondary operations.
Foot-Controlled Clamp Keeps Both Hands Free
The foot pedal clamp releases both hands so you can position sheet metal accurately before the bend locks in. This is especially useful when handling larger panels where one hand on the material makes a real difference in placement.
Stop Rod Delivers Repeatable Bends Across a Run
The included stop rod lets you set a consistent bend depth and repeat it from part to part without remeasuring. For production runs or matched parts, this keeps results uniform without adding setup time between bends.
Spring-Loaded Apron Assist Reduces Fatigue at Full Capacity
A spring-loaded cylinder helps lift the apron when bending at or near the full 12 gauge capacity. This reduces the effort required on heavy material and keeps the brake workable through longer sessions.
