Baileigh BB-12014 Box And Pan Folder
The Baileigh BB-12014 is a professional-grade 120" (10-foot) box and pan brake designed to handle heavy-duty sheet metal forming with exceptional precision, offering 14-gauge mild steel capacity and the versatility to create complex boxes, pans, and ductwork with ease.
Looking for a sheet metal brake that can handle the demanding workload of a busy fabrication shop? The BB-12014 is engineered for professionals who need serious capacity without compromising on accuracy. With its massive 10-foot width, you can work with full 4' x 8' sheets, making it perfect for large-scale projects that would be impossible on smaller machines.
What sets this brake apart is its bulletproof construction. Weighing in at an impressive 3,500 pounds, this isn't a machine that will flex or twist under pressure. The electro-welded all-steel frame is built to deliver decades of daily use at maximum capacity, while the heavy-duty truss rod system ensures your apron stays rigid even when you're bending thick material. You'll appreciate the two massive counterweights that do the heavy lifting for you, dramatically reducing operator fatigue during those long production runs.
Whether you're running a general fabrication shop or specializing in HVAC ductwork, the BB-12014 gives you the flexibility to handle diverse projects. The 26 hardened fingers in four different sizes let you configure the machine for straight bending or intricate box and pan work up to 6 inches deep. And with its ability to accommodate full-length sheet metal at 45 degrees, you can easily add angle crimps to strengthen long duct pieces, a feature that HVAC professionals particularly value.
Applications
- Ductwork Fabrication: Create custom ductwork, add stiffening ribs to long pieces, and form complex fittings with consistent quality
- Metal Box and Pan Manufacturing: Produce custom enclosures, electrical boxes, and specialty pans up to 6" deep with precision
- Architectural Sheet Metal Work: Bend large panels for building facades, roofing components, and decorative metalwork
- General Fabrication Projects: Handle diverse jobs from equipment housings to custom brackets and structural components
- Automotive and Transportation: Form large body panels, truck bed liners, and custom vehicle components
- Industrial Equipment Manufacturing: Create control panel boxes, machine guards, and equipment enclosures with tight tolerances
Key Features & Benefits
- Massive 120" Working Width: You can bend full 4' x 8' sheets at 45 degrees, eliminating the need for multiple setups and saving you valuable production time on large projects
- Serious Material Capacity: Handles up to 14-gauge mild steel, 18-gauge stainless steel, and 10-gauge aluminum, giving you the versatility to work with the materials your customers demand
- 26 Configurable Hardened Fingers: With 6 of 3", 4 of 4", 10 of 5", and 6 of 6" fingers, you have the flexibility to set up for straight bending or create boxes and pans up to 6" deep
- Industrial-Grade Construction: The electro-welded all-steel frame eliminates flex and maintains accuracy over decades of daily use, protecting your investment and ensuring consistent results
- Reduced Operator Fatigue: Two massive counterweights and precision lube-for-life bearings make bending at maximum capacity surprisingly easy, keeping your operators productive all day long
- Heavy-Duty Truss Rod Support System: Provides additional rigidity to the apron during maximum capacity bends, preventing deflection that could compromise bend quality
- Precision Bend Angles Up to 135 Degrees: Gives you the flexibility to create a wide range of bends for diverse applications, from simple 90-degree corners to complex angle work
- Low Maintenance Design: Lube-for-life bearings mean less downtime and lower operating costs, letting you focus on production instead of maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BB12014 suitable for stainless steel fabrication?
Absolutely! The BB-12014 handles stainless steel up to 18 gauge with ease. The hardened fingers and precision bearings ensure clean, accurate bends in stainless without marking or damaging the material. Just remember that stainless requires more force to bend than mild steel, which is why this machine's heavy-duty construction and counterweights are so valuable.
How difficult is it to change the finger configuration?
Changing configurations is straightforward and becomes second nature with a bit of practice. The hardened fingers are designed for easy setup, whether you're arranging them for straight bending or creating custom box and pan configurations. Most operators can reconfigure the machine in just a few minutes once they're familiar with the process.
Can this brake handle full sheets at angles other than 90 degrees?
Yes, one of the BB-12014's standout features is its ability to accept the entire 120" length at 45 degrees. This is particularly valuable for HVAC work where you need to add angle crimps to long duct pieces for structural support. The brake offers bend angles from 0° to 135°, giving you tremendous flexibility for various applications.
What kind of maintenance does the BB12014 require?
Very little, which is one of its best features. The precision bearings are lube-for-life, meaning they're sealed and maintenance-free. You'll want to keep the working surfaces clean and occasionally check that all bolts remain tight, but there's no complex maintenance schedule. This is a machine built for busy shops that don't have time for constant upkeep.
Will this fit in my shop, and how is it powered?
The BB-12014 requires floor space of approximately 146" x 34" (plus clearance for operators and material). It's a manual brake operated by hand lever, so there are no electrical requirements to worry about. The machine comes with an integrated heavy-duty floor stand, so you won't need to fabricate or purchase additional mounting equipment. Just make sure your floor can support the 3,500-pound weight.
