MechMaxx PB4816 48" Manual Pan and Box Brake - 16 Gauge, 16 Fingers, 135°
The MechMaxx PB4816 is a manual pan and box brake with a 48 in. (1,220 mm) working width. It bends mild steel up to 16 gauge (1.5 mm) from 0 to 135°, using a counterweighted bending leaf.
Sixteen removable fingers in 2, 3 and 4 in. widths set up boxes, pans and channels. The welded steel frame bolts to a level floor or a heavy-duty stand.
16 Removable Fingers
Five 2 in., six 3 in. and five 4 in. fingers. Remove or rearrange them to clear flanges on boxes and pans.
Repeatable Bends
A stop collar on the guide rod presets the bend so repeated parts come out the same.
