Baileigh HB-9616 96" Manual Straight Brake — 16 Gauge
Are you struggling to get clean, consistent bends across a full sheet of metal without the bend drifting at the ends?
What if your shop had a straight brake long enough to handle full-size panels in a single pass, without constant repositioning?
Meet the Baileigh HB-9616 96" Manual Straight Brake, an 8-foot manual brake built for professional sheet metal and fabrication work.
With a fully welded steel frame, adjustable thickness wheels, and a built-in stop rod, the HB-9616 holds its alignment across the full bending length.
When the brake tracks true from end to end, you can move through a run of panels with confidence and consistent results.

Baileigh HB-9616 for Full-Length Sheet Metal Bending
Welded Steel Frame Holds Alignment Across Full Length
The HB-9616 is built on a fully welded steel frame with support rods running the length of the brake. This construction keeps the bending edge aligned from end to end, so long panels bend evenly without distortion.
Adjustable Thickness Wheels Dial In Tighter Bends
Material thickness wheels are easily adjustable to fine-tune clamping pressure for lighter gauges. This lets you tighten the hold on thinner sheet without swapping tooling or stopping the workflow.
Counterweights Reduce Operator Effort on Long Bends
Two large counterweights offset the weight of the bending leaf across the full 96-inch span. This reduces the physical effort needed to lift and hold the apron during each bend, particularly on extended runs.
Stop Rod and Removable Apron Support Repeatable Work
The included stop rod lets you set a consistent bend position and repeat it across a full production run. The removable apron on the bending leaf reduces the distance between bends when multiple passes are needed on the same piece.
