Baileigh HB-4816E 48" Manual Straight Brake with End Clamp System
Are you looking for a manual sheet metal brake that holds its position and bends consistently across the full length?
What if your shop had a straight brake that delivered clean, repeatable bends without fighting the material or adjusting between every run?
Meet the Baileigh HB-4816E 48" Manual Straight Brake with End Clamp System, a fully welded floor brake built for fabrication, HVAC, and general metalworking.
With a 48-inch working length, 16 gauge mild steel capacity, and a counterweight apron lift assist, the HB-4816E handles full 4-foot panels without extra effort.
When the brake holds firm and the stop rod is set, you move through a production run with confidence and consistent results.
Baileigh HB-4816E for Accurate Manual Sheet Metal Bending
Welded Steel Frame Reduces Flex at Full Capacity
The HB-4816E is built on a fully welded steel frame with support rods running the full length of the brake. This construction minimizes frame flex when bending at full 48-inch capacity, so bends stay consistent from edge to edge.
End Clamp System Applies Even Pressure Across the Material
Material clamps at each end apply clamping pressure where it matters most for a straight brake. Even clamping force across the full width helps produce crisp, accurate bends without material shift during the bend.
Stop Rod Keeps Bends Repeatable During Production Runs
The included stop rod lets you set a reference point and repeat the same bend position across a full run of parts. Paired with the adjustable blade gap, you can dial in the setup once and hold it through the job.
Counterweight Apron Lift Assist Reduces Operator Effort
A counterweight system offsets the weight of the bending apron so lifting feels balanced, even at full 48-inch width. This makes repeated bending less tiring during longer production runs.
