Baileigh Sheet Metal Reversible Finger Brake BB-5016F-DS is a 50-inch, 16-gauge mild steel capacity box and pan brake engineered by Baileigh to handle an exceptional range of bending tasks - from tanks and pans to boxes and flanged components. Segmented fingers on both the top and lower lifting beams allow you to make unusual bends that a standard box brake simply cannot achieve, giving fabricators the flexibility to produce many sizes and shapes with a single machine.

Key Features

• 50" length provides a generous working capacity for wide sheet metal workpieces
• 16-gauge mild steel maximum capacity box and pan brake handles a broad range of material thicknesses
• Foot pedal clamping lets you clamp the material with the foot pedal, so that both hands are free for positioning the sheet metal
• Segmented fingers on the lower lifting beam let flanges and flaps hang down while still allowing you to get close to the bend line
• Adjustable stop rod helps you make repeatable parts for production runs without difficulty
• Simple blade gap adjustment lets you work on various gauges of sheet metal
• Spring-loaded cylinder assists in lifting the apron, saving effort for the operator
• Hardened fingers and bending die will last through years of productive use
• Baileigh covers this sheet metal finger brake with a 1-year parts warranty as well as lifetime technical support by phone

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the BB-5016F-DS different from a standard box brake?

The BB-5016F-DS incorporates segmented fingers on both the top and lower lifting beams, allowing it to make unusual bends that a standard box brake cannot perform. This gives operators the ability to produce a much wider variety of shapes, including tanks, pans, and boxes with complex flanges.

How does the foot pedal clamping system benefit the operator?

You can clamp the material with the foot pedal, so that both hands are free for positioning the sheet metal. This significantly improves accuracy and control, especially when handling larger or more awkward workpieces.

Can this brake be used for production runs requiring identical bends?

Yes. The adjustable stop rod helps you make repeatable parts for production runs without difficulty, allowing consistent bend placement across multiple workpieces without re-measuring each time.

What kind of warranty and support does Baileigh provide for this machine?

Baileigh covers this sheet metal finger brake with a 1-year parts warranty as well as lifetime technical support by phone, ensuring long-term assistance is available whenever you need it.
