Pan & Box Brakes
Summary for Pan & Box Brakes
Pan & Box Brakes - Accuracy for Every Bend
Metal fabrication is effortless with a durable pan and box brake to make precise repeatable bends at exacting angles. If you need straight bends for metal boxes, bins, drawers, or trays, these devices are specially configured to handle your unique project types and requirements.
These simple yet effective machines are a great option for custom fabrication shops looking to get the most from their equipment dollars. Features such as adjustable brake handles and removeable and precision-ground steel fingers make it easy to make multiple bends in a sheet with high-quality results. Get the specific widths you need for every bend with a pan and box brake from Grizzly.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What gauge of pan and box brake do I need?
The gauge you need depends on what type of material you will be working with, as well as the thickness of the sheets. The higher the gauge, the thinner the metal the pan and box brake can handle. Below are some general gauge guidelines:
- Mild Steel - 16 to 18
- Aluminum - 14 to 16
- Stainless Steel - 18 to 20
- Copper/Brass - 14 to 18
What is the value of removable fingers?
There are several benefits to having removable steel fingers on a pan and box brake:
- Allows Complex Bends: Fingers can be removed or repositioned to bend around cutouts or raised areas in the sheet. This is essential for making boxes, pans, trays, or enclosures without interfering with other edges.
- Enables Custom Shapes: Produce bends of different widths and configurations by selectively removing fingers. This allows for more creative or functional designs in metal fabrication.
- Prevents Material Interference: When bending a sheet with multiple sides, solid fingers would block part of the sheet. Removable fingers clear the way for adjacent bends for creating multi-sided boxes.
- Increases Machine Flexibility: One machine can handle both simple and complex bends without the need for multiple specialized brakes.
- Improves Accuracy: Properly positioned fingers support the sheet where needed, reducing warping or misalignment during bends.
