Baileigh HBR-4820 48" Straight Brake — 20 Gauge
Are you looking for a manual sheet metal brake that handles light fabrication work without needing a power connection?
What if your shop had a straight brake that clamps accurately and bends consistently across the full 48 inch width?
Meet the Baileigh HBR-4820 48" Straight Brake, a manual floor-standing brake built for HVAC work, pans, channels, and shallow forming tasks.
With a fully welded steel plate frame, support trusses, and precision cam lever clamping, the HBR-4820 holds material firmly through each bend.
When the brake clamps and bends true every time, you can work through a run of parts with confidence.

Baileigh HBR-4820 for Light-Duty Sheet Metal Fabrication
Welded Steel Frame Delivers Consistent Bending Rigidity
The brake is built from fully welded steel plate with support trusses on both the top and bottom of the frame. That construction keeps the machine rigid under load so bends stay accurate across the full 48 inch working length.
Cam Lever Clamping Holds Material Without Slipping
Right and left precision cam lever arms clamp the workpiece firmly before each bend. The cam system applies controlled, even pressure so material stays in place through the full bending motion.
Adjustable Clamping Pressure Handles Lighter Stock
Clamping pressure adjusts to accommodate lighter gauge material without marking or distorting the workpiece. That makes the brake practical for both standard mild steel work and lighter aluminum sheet.
Floor Stand Included for Stable Manual Operation
A floor stand ships with the brake so it is ready to set up and use without sourcing a separate base. Manual operation means no electrical connection is needed, which suits field work or shops without available outlets at the workstation.
