Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum material thickness this brake can handle?
- The BB-4816E has a maximum capacity of 16-gauge mild steel, making it well suited for lighter sheet metal work and hobbyist or educational applications.
- Can this brake make full-length bends at its maximum material capacity?
- Yes. The BB-4816E bends up to 135 deg. across the brake's entire 48" (4-foot) length even at full capacity, so you are not limited to partial-length bending when working with heavier gauges within its range.
- How do the included fingers help with box and pan fabrication?
- The brake includes 16 hardened fingers of varying lengths. By selecting and arranging different finger combinations, you can create many sizes of boxes and pans to suit a wide range of project requirements.
- How does the counterweight apron lift assist work, and do I need to adjust for material thickness?
- The counterweight apron lift assist is a built-in mechanism that reduces your effort when bending at full capacity by offsetting the weight of the apron. Additionally, the finger setback adjustment allows you to fine-tune the brake to account for the thickness of the material you are bending, helping to ensure accurate, consistent results.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
It is important to assess the product being shipped against your location and material-handling capabilities.
Please be aware that your location needs to be prepared to properly handle and sign for freight shipments. You need to have access to a dock location, a forklift or the ability to unload the product from the freight carrier's trailer.
If your location does not have a traditional loading dock or forklift to unload your LTL freight out of the trailer, a Lift gate service will be required. There will be an additional charge for the service. It varies by carrier and even by market with different carriers. It often depends on the supply and demand of lift gate equipped trucks in your area.
Some machines require Flatbed shipping. There will be an additional charge for this service. Flatbed shipping is for the transportation of cargo that cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock, or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles.
If a shipment is too heavy or the footprint (i.e., panel saws, metalworking lathes, mill/drills) is too large to ship via small parcel carrier (USPS, UPS or FedEx), it is shipped via a freight carrier. Freight shipments are considered tail gate deliveries, meaning that the driver is only responsible for moving the shipment to the rear of the trailer and will not assist with unloading.
For non-commercial deliveries, the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window and confirm if lift gate services are required. If lift gate service is requested, the driver is responsible for lowering the product to the ground during delivery. Freight shipments delivered to a residential location are considered curb side deliveries, meaning the driver will make the delivery in the street at the end of the customer’s driveway. Freight Carriers are not required to enter driveways to make residential deliveries due to liability and safety issues.
Although most deliveries go smoothly, sometimes there are exceptions beyond our control. Machines weighing over 2,000 pounds, bulky and oversized machines with a large footprint may not be able to be delivered via a lift gate for risk of injury or damage to the machine. There are also inaccessible remote, residential or high density urban areas that freight carriers cannot safely access. If encountered, such shipments are available for dock delivery or will be required to be picked up from the carrier’s terminal.
