The Baileigh HB-14418 is a heavy-duty 144 in. (12 ft) manual straight hand brake engineered for long-panel sheet metal bending in professional metal fabrication and HVAC shops. Built to handle up to 18 gauge mild steel and 22 gauge stainless steel across its full working length, this manually operated machine produces consistent, full-length bends up to 135 deg. without requiring electrical power.

Constructed with an electro-welded heavy steel-plate frame, the HB-14418 provides structural rigidity to resist deflection during high-tonnage forming operations. Precision-machined cast iron clamping and bending components maintain uniform pressure along the entire 12 ft length to deliver straight, accurate bend lines. Two large counterweights balance the upper leaf to minimize physical exertion and operator fatigue during repetitive bending cycles, while an integrated material stop rod enables rapid, repeatable positioning for production runs.

Features & Benefits

• 144 in. Bending Length: 12 ft working capacity accommodates long metal sheets and HVAC ductwork panels.
• 18 Gauge Mild Steel Capacity: Formable up to 18 gauge mild steel and 22 gauge stainless steel across the full length.
• 135 deg. Maximum Bend Angle: Allows a wide range of angular forming options for custom flashing, pans, and ducting.
• Electro-Welded Steel Frame: Rigid heavy steel-plate construction maintains bed alignment and precision during operation.
• Cast Iron Clamping Components: Precision clamping members deliver even force distribution to ensure straight, crease-free bends.
• Dual Counterweights: Counterbalances the upper bending beam to substantially reduce manual effort and fatigue.
• Material Stop Rod: Enables repeatable stop depth settings for fast, consistent batch panel bending.
• Manual Operation: Operates entirely without power, making it suitable for shops without high-voltage drops.

Shipping: Beaver Industrial Supply offers free shipping on orders over $199, with the exception of Sawstop and Laguna, which require additional fees to be collected. Other exceptions apply as noted on product pages.

We reserve the right to determine the fastest and most cost-effective manner of transportation for all orders that qualify for free shipping. Our shipping carriers cannot deliver to PO box or U.S. military post office box addresses, such as APO and FPO, so we require a physical street address for delivery. We use USPS, which typically takes 2-8 days for delivery, depending on your location, for smaller items and UPS Ground for all other ground shipments under 150 pounds.

• Returns: We accept returns and exchanges for a fee up to 30 days in unopened, new, and unused condition in the original packaging. Exceptions apply.

Please note, NO REFUNDS will be given on any new, used, or damaged item if it is not returned in the original packaging, no matter what condition the packaging is in. If the item qualifies for free shipping, you will be charged the original shipping cost and are responsible for shipping the product back with the shipping carrier of your choice.

We must receive the item undamaged. We recommend you package it accordingly and purchase insurance for higher-priced items to ensure you receive the full refund minus any incurred fees as applicable. We reserve the right to refuse the return of accessories.

Because items are your responsibility until they reach us, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you of the value of the goods. Return shipping is at the customer's cost. At Beaver Industrial Supply’s discretion, delivery charges can be refunded if the goods are defective.

Returns require a return authorization number. Please call customer service at 314-773-5999 or submit a customer service inquiry to start the exchange or return process and receive an authorization number.

Machinery too large for parcel shipment (palletized or crated) is only returnable if there is a material defect that cannot be resolved by replacing components.
