Baileigh HB-9612 96" Heavy Duty Manual Straight Brake — 12 Gauge
Are you looking for a manual sheet metal brake that holds its accuracy across a full 8-foot bend?
What if your shop had a heavy straight brake that stayed rigid through 12 gauge mild steel without drifting or flexing?
Meet the Baileigh HB-9612 96" Heavy Duty Manual Straight Brake, a welded steel floor brake built for full-size panel work.
With a fully-welded top beam, machined blade, and dual counterweights, the HB-9612 holds its geometry through demanding bends.
When the brake stays rigid from end to end, you can work through a production run with confidence.

Baileigh HB-9612 for Full-Size Sheet Metal Bending
Welded Steel Frame Holds Rigidity Across Full Width
The top beam and support trusses are fully welded from steel plate, giving the brake a rigid structure that resists flex during heavy bends. That rigidity carries across all 96 inches so bends stay consistent from one end of the sheet to the other.
Machined Blade Produces Tight Bend Radii
The blade is precisely machined to deliver clean, tight bend radii on mild steel up to 12 gauge. Accurate blade geometry means less material distortion and cleaner finished edges on every bend.
Stop Rod Supports Repeatable Part Production
A standard stop rod lets you set a fixed reference point for consistent bend placement across a run of parts. Once set, you can repeat the same bend without re-measuring each piece.
Dual Counterweights Reduce Operator Effort
Two heavy duty counterweights offset the weight of the bending leaf at full capacity, reducing the effort needed to complete each bend. The steel floor stand positions the brake at a comfortable working height for extended production use.
