Rebuildable!

While we would like to think a brake will last forever, ALL brakes may need parts due to wear or misuse. ProFormer brakes (unlike others) are designed so YOU can rebuild the clamp and apron assemblies, vertical guides, cams, apron hinge pins or bushings. Entire top clamp assemblies or nose bars can be replaced. Replacement parts are very reasonably priced. So, think about this important feature - your ProFormer brake can last forever.

ProFormer SHEET METAL BRAKES HAVE MORE STANDARD FEATURES

Designed and built for the long run: you can rebuild clamp and apron assemblies, vertical guides, cams, apron hinge pins or bushings. Entire top clamp assemblies or nose bars can be replaced. For BP & U Models, replacement finger sets are very reasonably priced.

Minimum reverse bend for all models is 1/2", OR 1/4" minimum reverse bend may be ordered on all models.

Beam adjustment. (Maximum clamp setback) for all models is 1" Additional setback my be ordered.

Heavy Struts Rods under table, on & behind clamp, and under aprons are adjustable so you can maintain true centers.

Center leg included with all 8 & 10 ft models and some 4 to 6 ft models, may be installed for easier hemming while minimizing need to preload struts. The result is easier hemming and less wear on you and your brake.

S & L Straight Brake Models
have openings at clamp ends allowing you to form 3 sides of a pan to depth shown in the chart (see ProFormer Straight Brakes) under "Max Depth of Box".

BP & U Model Finger Widths
, depending on the model, one or two 2", two or three 3", and the rest 4". Or you may specify the widths and mix. A spare 4" finger is included with all U models, and is optional on BP models. Use it to cut a slot at an odd width, like 3/4" or 1-3/8". Additional spares and complete sets are so inexpensive you may want several for experimenting. Many BP and U models are available with long fingers allowing box depths up to 6". Each finger is individually adjustable for leading edge alignment, greatly increasing useful life of the set.

SPECIAL 4" CUT BACK FINGER to bend up to 4" of 3/16"
mild steel w/o adjusting set  back or clamp pressure (or damaging one of the "good" fingers), is included with all U model, and is optional for 16ga BP models.

Even though all ProFormer brakes come with a long list of standard features at no additional cost, ProFormer is always looking for new ways to make their brakes more versatile to fit everyone's needs.
