Baileigh HBR-7222 72" Straight Brake — 22 Gauge
Are you bending long sheet metal panels on a brake that flexes under load or loses accuracy across the full width?
What if your shop had a full 6-foot straight brake that held its line from end to end without needing power to do it.
Meet the Baileigh HBR-7222 72" Straight Brake, a heavy-duty manual brake built for sheet metal, HVAC, and fabrication work.
With a fully welded steel frame, heavy support trusses, and precision cam lever arms, the brake holds rigid and bends true across its full 72-inch length.
When the brake clamps cleanly and the bend comes out right every time, you can move through a job with confidence.

Baileigh HBR-7222 for Long-Panel Sheet Metal Bending
Welded Steel Frame Keeps the Brake Rigid Under Load
The HBR-7222 is built on a fully welded steel frame with heavy support trusses at the top and bottom. That construction keeps the brake from flexing during the clamp and bend, so results stay consistent across the full 72-inch working length.
Precision Cam Lever Arms Control Clamp Action
Right and left cam lever arms give you clean, controlled clamping across the full width of the workpiece. Adjustable clamping pressure lets you dial in the grip for different material thicknesses without marring lighter stock.
Full-Length Bending Capacity Handles Wide Panels
The brake bends 22 gauge mild steel across its entire 72-inch width, up to a maximum angle of 120 degrees. That capacity covers the long panels common in HVAC duct work, roofing, and custom sheet metal fabrication.
Steel Floor Stand Provides Stable Manual Operation
The included heavy-duty steel floor stand sets the brake at a working height suited for manual operation. No power is needed — the hand brake design keeps the workflow simple and the footprint manageable in a busy shop.
