Universal Combination bending brakes represent a modern departure from the old conventional hand brake design. They are not limited to straight bending and box and pan work alone, but will accommodate inside bending, radius forming many other intricate forming operations with special attachments. They are limited in versatility only by the operator's ingenuity.

These brakes will form a 1" flange over the entire length in their rated capacity. Heavy duty springs reduce clamping effort and adjustable counterweights reduce bending effort. The upper beam may be moved directly to the rear either 6 or 8 inches to accommodate box fingers and special forming attachments. The normal maximum opening between the upper beam and the lower beam is 1.3/4 " and may be increased to 4" to accept box and pan fingers. When the apron angle iron work support is removed, brake capacity is reduced by 2 gauges.

When the apron angle iron work support and apron filler plates are removed, brake capacity is reduced by 4 gauges. When both are removed , 1/4" reverse bends may be made except on 8 foot and 10 foot, 12 foot gauge brakes only 3/8" reverse bends may be made. When bending stainless steel brake capacity is reduced 4 gauges for both straight and finger bending.
