Description
Great Oak Curated Industrial Equipment:
Part of our industrial collection, selected for durability and performance.Features & Details
- 48-Inch Heavy-Duty Bending: This sheet metal brake handles metal sheets up to 48″ wide with bending angles from 0° to 135°, making it ideal for medium-size fabrication shops and heavy-gauge projects.
-
- Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Copper, and Aluminum compatibility
- Bending capacity up to 12-gauge (2.5 mm) mild steel
- Engineered for demanding industrial applications
- Customizable Die Setup: This sheet metal bender includes 8 segmented fingers (3″ x 4 pcs, 4″ x 3 pcs, 25″ x 1 pc) that can be freely arranged for precise, segmented bends. Perfect for fabricating electrical enclosures, casings, HVAC components, and complex flanged panels.
- Dual Counterweights for Stability: Designed with dual balancing hammers, this metal bending machine provides stronger, more stable clamping of large sheets while reducing operator effort—ideal for heavy-duty bending tasks.
- Easy Operation: The aluminum brake bender is designed for straightforward operation. Simply lift the clamping handle, position the sheet metal, and lower the handle to secure it. Gradually raise the lever to the desired angle. Angle adjustments are manual; note that all metal bending will exhibit springback (e.g., for a 90° bend, set the angle to 92°).

Detailed Overview
Sheet Metal Brake for Rapid Batch Bending
Bend metal like a pro with this 48-inch sheet metal brake. Ideal for workshops, the box and pan brake handles 12 gauge steel, supports multiple materials, and features modular fingers for complex bends—easy to use, stable, and built for precision bending.
The box and pan brake handles mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper with ease. Bends 12 gauge (2.5 mm) mild steel in a single pass—no need to swap between machines for different jobs.
The sheet metal bender includes 8 removable fingers in multiple sizes that can be freely arranged to avoid obstructions on the workpiece. Ideal for forming floor reinforcement channels, corrugated truck beds, bed headers, and inner fenders.
Enhanced with a balancing weight to offset the force during clamping, minimizing deformation—an upgrade over standard brakes. Bolt it down to your workbench to ensure steady, accurate bends.
Always wear goggles, non-slip gloves, and safety shoes before operating the metal bending brake. Stand to the side during bending to avoid injury from springback. For larger sheets, team up with a partner for secure handling.
Note: Great Oak specializes in sourcing high-performance industrial tools. Manufactured by VEVOR.

Arrived in excellent packaging. Some minor hardware was missing due to shipping damage, not the manufacturer’s fault. Fit and finish are impressive—oil fittings, accurate degree wheel, and nearly perfect alignment. Performs better than many big-name brands for the price.

Used an 8-foot brake before, but this 48″ model fits my budget. Built a stand for it and I’m very satisfied so far. Solid performance.

With 35 years in metalwork, I got this brake for home use. It’s well-built, produces straight bends, and easily handles 16-gauge metal. Great addition to my shop.

This machine works perfectly for small stainless steel parts (26 gauge). It’s compact, easy to use, and delivers great results. We even made a custom 1.5″ tool and it works flawlessly. Very happy with this bender.

My first venture into doing this, or any, type of sheet metal bending. After a lot of research and watching several Youtoob reviews, I ordered this Vevor brake. Took my time building a sturdy bench just for the brake. Boy, this thing is heavy!
At any rate, I just finished my first project (tube amp chassis) and was totally successful. I uses .060 aluminum, and the brake handled it easily. There’s limitations with this brake, but I just engineered my way around them. Actually, my limitations are quite probably due to my having zero previous experience with tools like this, and I’m facing an expected learning curve on the uphill road to success.
On delivery, I could see that the brake was securely packed and bolted in a wooden crate, but TBH the crate pretty much fell apart before it got here, and was taped together by the carrier. Zero damage to the tool, though. No harm, no foul.
Happy I bought it, would definitely make this same choice again.
