The Baileigh Magnetic Sheet Metal Brake BB-4816M-V2 is a professional-grade magnetic box brake engineered for HVAC shops, industrial art shops, and general sheet metal fabrication environments. Its breakthrough open-ended design allows you to create enclosed ducts and shapes that are simply impossible to produce with a traditional box and pan brake, while 6-ton magnetic clamping power delivers crisp, consistent bends from edge to edge across the entire 48-inch beam.

Key Features

• Runs on 220-volt single-phase power and will work at virtually any site.
• 48" (4-foot) length with a maximum capacity of 16 gauge mild steel.
• The breakthrough open-ended design allows you to create enclosed ducts and shapes impossible to make with a traditional box and pan brake.
• 6-ton magnetic power is consistent across the entire beam, allowing for crisp bends even in the middle of the brake.
• Scaled stroke angle control lets you deliver repeatable bends time after time.
• You can set up the mild steel clamping bar with straight bars (of various widths if you had very tight boxes to make) for straight bends or segmented clamping bars for box and pan applications.
• Blade gap adjustment on the clamping bars lets you work with sheet metal of different thicknesses.
• You can remove the bottom leaf's bending extension for the tightest bend dimension between bends of .625".
• Comes with product supports and adjustable back gauges for production runs.
• Baileigh covers this box brake with a 1-year parts warranty as well as lifetime technical support by phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the open-ended design of this magnetic brake different from a traditional box and pan brake?

The breakthrough open-ended design allows you to create enclosed ducts and shapes that are impossible to make with a traditional box and pan brake. Because the design is not constrained by conventional finger depths, you can bend boxes or pans to almost any depth and work around existing bends in ways a standard brake cannot accommodate.

How does the magnetic clamping system ensure consistent bends across the full length of the brake?

The BB-4816M-V2 uses 6-ton magnetic power that is consistent across the entire beam. This uniform clamping force means you get crisp, accurate bends even when bending material in the middle of the brake - not just at the edges where clamping pressure is typically strongest on mechanical brakes.

Can this brake handle different material thicknesses and both straight and box-and-pan bending?

Yes. Blade gap adjustment on the clamping bars lets you work with sheet metal of different thicknesses. You can configure the mild steel clamping bar with straight bars for straight bends or switch to segmented clamping bars for box and pan applications, making it a highly versatile tool for a wide range of fabrication tasks.

What power supply is required, and are there any important electrical requirements to be aware of?

The BB-4816M-V2 runs on 220-volt single-phase power. To achieve proper performance and prevent damage to the machine, the power supplied must be 220VAC +/-5% (209VAC to 231VAC). Failure to comply will damage the machine and void the warranty. Contact Baileigh Industrial directly if you have questions before connecting the machine.

Note: IMPORTANT INFORMATION! To achieve proper performance and prevent damage to the machine, the power supplied must be 220VAC +/-5% (209VAC to 231VAC). Failure to comply will damage the machine and void the warranty. Questions on this please call Baileigh Industrial before purchasing.
