Baileigh Hand Brake HB-14418 18 ga.

A welded steel frame enables this straight brake to tackle an 18 gauge mild steel capacity—without the misalignment that plagues many other manual bending brakes on the market.

industrial Construction: The Baileigh HB-14418 Hand Brake is a heavy-duty, manually operated straight brake built for professional metal fabrication and HVAC applications that require long-panel bending. Its robust welded steel frame and rigid construction deliver reliability and long service life.

Precision & Performance: With a 144″ (12 ft) working length and capacity to bend 18 gauge mild steel, this brake produces accurate and repeatable bends up to 135°. Precision machined components, a material stop rod, and cast iron clamping elements support consistent, high-quality results.

Ease of Use: Featuring counterweights to reduce operator effort, a comfortable heavy-duty stand, and simple manual operation without the need for power, the HB-14418 improves workflow for long, repetitive bending tasks.

• 12-foot (144”) bending length lets you make quicker work of those long runs.
• Bends 18 gauge mild steel and 22 gauge stainless steel across its full length of 12 feet.
• Maximum bend angle of 135°.
• Bending leaf’s precisely-machined single blade keeps the bending radius as tight as possible.
• Clamping and bending components made of cast iron, machined for tight tolerances, help keep costs and waste to a minimum.
• Material stop rod ensures repeatability between bends.
• 2 large counterweights help you bend at full capacity without physical strain.
• Heavy-duty steel floor stand, positioned at a comfortable height, will reduce the operator’s effort and make production smoother.
