The Baileigh LB-8 Manual Open-Ended Letter Brake is engineered for sign fabrication shops producing channel letters and small-profile sheet metal bends. Designed with an 8 in. working length and a 20 gauge mild steel capacity, this specialized brake forms tight, accurate bends required for custom sign making and metal lettering.

Featuring an open-jaw design, the LB-8 allows material lips to extend out the front of the frame, facilitating significantly faster reverse bending than traditional box and pan brakes. Its 2.25 in. x 2.25 in. boxed tube main column provides structural rigidity to minimize deflection during manual forming tasks.

The bending slide is supported by sealed ball bearings to deliver smooth, low-friction operation. Operating manually without electrical power or compressed air requirements, this letter brake includes a complete stand assembly for a stable, floor-mounted workstation setup.
