Baileigh BB-4816 48" Manual Box & Pan Brake — 16 Gauge / 4" Box Depth
Are you looking for a manual brake that handles box and pan work without needing a power source or complicated setup?
What if your shop had a dependable 48 inch brake that bends sheet metal cleanly and holds its adjustment from one part to the next.
Meet the Baileigh BB-4816, a manual box and pan brake built for consistent bending on 16 gauge mild steel up to 48 inches wide.
With 16 hardened fingers, a fully welded frame, and a counterbalance weight that reduces operator effort, the BB-4816 handles flat bends and box work without switching machines.
When the brake holds its settings through a run of parts, you can focus on the work instead of rechecking every bend.

Baileigh BB-4816 for Manual Sheet Metal Box and Pan Work
Hardened Fingers Support a Wide Range of Box Shapes
Sixteen hardened fingers of varying lengths let you configure the brake for box, pan, and channel work up to 4 inches deep. Removing individual fingers clears the sides of a part so you can form enclosures and multi-sided shapes on the same machine you use for flat bends.
Fully Welded Frame Resists Flex Under Load
The main beam and apron are fully welded for rigidity across the full 48 inch bending width. A solid frame keeps the clamping bar and bending leaf in alignment so bend angles stay repeatable under full capacity loads.
Counterbalance Weight Reduces Operator Effort
A heavy counterbalance weight offsets the resistance of the bending leaf at full capacity. This makes it easier to hold consistent pressure through a bend without fatiguing the operator on longer runs.
Stand Included for Immediate Shop Use
The BB-4816 ships with a heavy-duty stand so it is ready to set up and use without sourcing additional support. It can also be bench-mounted for shops that prefer a fixed installation.
