Standard Sheet Metal Hand Brake:
Chicago Dreis & Krump heavy duty machinery construction. Designed for accurate and economical bending of standard and special design forms. Ideal for bending mild steel with a 1 inch minimum flange to the rated capacity of the machine. Capable of 1/4 inch reverse bends on lighter metal. Even usuable for occassional hemming.
Options most hand brakes can't offer:
- Handwheel Back Gauge - 25 inch travel to measure and square up your metal (see below)
- Insert Bar - 1/4 inch (for closer offset bends)
- Radius Formers - for forming gutters, mouldings, prototypes, etc, from thin sheet metal.

NOTE: Mild Steel = 55,000 psi tensile strength and Stainless Steel = 90,000 psi tensile strength

BOX & PAN SHEET METAL HAND BRAKE: See chart below.
Incorporates all of the outstanding features of the standard hand brake plus removable, sectioned fingers that can bend any length of metal from 3 inches long to the full length of the machine. Boxes and pans can be up to 6 inches deep. A very versatile well built Chicago Dreis & Krump machine.
Options most hand brakes can't offer:
- Handwheel Back Gauge with 25" travel to measure and square up your metal (see below)
- Extension Fingers (to form rigid inside corners with a return flange across the top)
- Open End Fingers (to form tubes of triangular, square, rectangular, or tapered shape)
- Radius Nose Bars up to 1.5" (great for aluminum aircraft work)
- Insert Bar - 1/4 inch (for closer offset bends)
- Radius Formers - for forming gutters, mouldings, prototypes, from thin sheet metal.

Add an optional Chicago Dreis & Krump Back Gauge:
Who says a hand brake can't have sophistication?
Tired of always using a tape measure to mark lines that must be lined up with the nose bar? This back gauge has a 25 inch travel with a inch/cm scale so it is a must for those who want a labor saving, time saving, accuracy improving hand cranked back gauge to speed up production and improve quality. It measures where your metal bend will be and it squares up your metal to the machine.

Click to Request a Quote for the 96" machine
A strong 6 ton magnet in the bed is activated by foot pedal or push button control to hold down a mild steel clamping bar of almost any configuration across the bed width or bed length. The sheet metal is pinned between the magnetic mild steel clamping bar. The bottom bending leaf is lifted to make the bend. The steel clamping bar can be made of straight bars (of various widths for tight boxes) for straight bends or segmented clamping bars for box and pan applications of any other configuration such as totally enclosed boxes, triangles, alternate bends on varying planes, round items such as scrolling applications, and much more. Great for bending mild steel sheet metal, stainless steel, aluminum, coated materials, and heated plastics. The bottom leaf’s bending extension can be removed for the tightest bends. The scaled stroke angle control can be set for repeat bends. Parts supports and adjustable back gauge for production runs, east to use gap adjustments on the clamping bars for different sheet metal thicknesses.
