Baileigh BB-7212 72" Heavy Duty Manual Box & Pan Brake — 12 Gauge
Are you working with large sheet metal panels that outgrow smaller brakes and produce uneven bends?
What if your shop had a full six-foot brake that holds its line across the entire bending length without flexing under load.
Meet the Baileigh BB-7212 72" Heavy Duty Manual Box & Pan Brake, a fully welded steel brake built for serious sheet metal work.
With 17 included fingers, a 135-degree bend capacity, and a counterbalance system that reduces operator effort, the BB-7212 handles heavy work without fighting back.
When the brake holds rigid from end to end, you can form boxes, pans, and large panels with the confidence that each bend will come out clean.

Baileigh BB-7212 for Heavy Sheet Metal Forming
Fully Welded Steel Frame Resists Deflection Under Load
The BB-7212 frame is built from fully welded heavy-duty steel to hold its shape when bending at full capacity. A rigid frame keeps the bending beam consistent across the full 72-inch working width so bends stay straight from one end to the other.
Adjustable Fingers Allow Box and Pan Configuration
The brake includes 17 hardened fingers in 3-inch and 6-inch sizes that can be arranged or removed to form boxes and pans with internal bends. Adjustable finger configuration lets the operator set up for a wide range of part geometries without additional tooling.
Counterbalance System Reduces Operator Effort
A built-in counterbalance weight system offsets the weight of the bending beam during operation. This reduces the physical effort required to make repeated bends at full 12-gauge capacity throughout a long production session.
Front-to-Rear Beam Adjustment Handles Varying Thickness
The adjustable front-to-rear beam allows the operator to dial in clamping pressure for different material gauges. This keeps the setup consistent when switching between materials without having to re-calibrate the full brake.
