Baileigh HB-14418 144" Heavy Duty Manual Straight Brake — 18 Gauge
Are you bending long sheet metal panels and running into brakes that flex, drift, or fall short on capacity?
What if your shop had a 12-foot manual brake that held its geometry across the full length of every bend?
Meet the Baileigh HB-14418 144" Heavy Duty Manual Straight Brake, a fully manual shop brake built for long-panel metal fabrication and HVAC work.
With a welded steel frame, cast iron clamping components, and two large counterweights, the HB-14418 is built to handle full-length bends shift after shift without power.
When every panel comes off the brake clean and consistent, you move through production without rework slowing you down.
Baileigh HB-14418 for Long-Panel Sheet Metal Bending
Welded Steel Frame Holds Geometry Under Load
The HB-14418 is built on an electro-welded heavy steel plate frame that resists flex across the full 144-inch working length. A rigid frame keeps the bend line consistent from one end of the panel to the other, even on heavy runs of 18 gauge mild steel.
Cast Iron Clamping Components Support Accurate Bends
Precision machined cast iron clamping and bending components hold material firmly during each bend cycle. Consistent clamping pressure across the full length helps produce clean, repeatable bends up to 135 degrees.
Material Stop Rod Delivers Repeat Bend Consistency
The built-in material stop rod gives operators a fixed reference point for positioning sheet stock before each bend. This reduces measuring time and keeps repeat bends accurate across a full production run.
Counterweights Reduce Operator Effort on Long Bends
Two large counterweights offset the weight of the bending leaf, reducing the effort required to lift and hold it through each bend cycle. This makes long, repetitive bending tasks easier to manage over a full shift without power.
