ProFormer SHEET METAL BRAKES HAVE MORE STANDARD FEATURES

Designed and built for the long run: you can rebuild clamp and apron assemblies, vertical guides, cams, apron hinge pins or bushings. Entire top clamp assemblies or nose bars can be replaced. For BP & U Models, replacement finger sets are very reasonably priced.

Minimum reverse bend for all models is 1/2", OR 1/4" minimum reverse bend may be ordered on all models.

Beam adjustment. (Maximum clamp setback) for all models is 1" Additional setback my be ordered.

Heavy Struts Rods under table, on & behind clamp, and under aprons are adjustable so you can maintain true centers.

Center leg included with all 8 & 10 ft models and some 4 to 6 ft models, may be installed for easier hemming while minimizing need to preload struts. The result is easier hemming and less wear on you and your brake.

S & L Straight Brake Models
have openings at clamp ends allowing you to form 3 sides of a pan to depth shown in the chart (see ProFormer Straight Brakes) under "Max Depth of Box".

BP & U Model Finger Widths
, depending on the model, one or two 2", two or three 3", and the rest 4". Or you may specify the widths and mix. A spare 4" finger is included with all U models, and is optional on BP models. Use it to cut a slot at an odd width, like 3/4" or 1-3/8". Additional spares and complete sets are so inexpensive you may want several for experimenting. Many BP and U models are available with long fingers allowing box depths up to 6". Each finger is individually adjustable for leading edge alignment, greatly increasing useful life of the set.

mild steel w/o adjusting set  back or clamp pressure (or damaging one of the "good" fingers), is included with all U model, and is optional for 16ga BP models.
