PROFORMER 48" - 20 gauge capacity Straight Hand Brake
Also Available 48" - 20 gauge Box and Pan Hand Brakes
Touch Steel Welded Construction includes truss rods and structural bracing to provide strength and rigidity plus insure accurate centers. Positive locking cams are sleeved with bronze bushings.
ADJUSTMENTS: Sheet Metal Brakes are adjustable for:
* center truss rod pre-load; one each above clamp, on apron, and under support table
* end to end clamp alignment & radius/set back.
CAPACITY: 20ga models will bend 20ga mild steel their full length, 2/3 their length in 18ga, 1/3 their length in 16 ga, and three inches of 11ga (1/8 inch).
Recommended minimum set back clearance between the apron and the edge of the clamp is 1-1/2 times the thickness of material being formed when working up to a 18ga, and at least 2 times the thickness of material being formed when working 16ga or heavier. A protective "book" should be used to preserve the clamp edge when forming heavier than 16ga.
