Designed with an innovative open-jaw configuration, this compact brake allows material lips to extend beyond the front of the machine, making reverse bends significantly faster and easier than with conventional box and pan brakes. Built with rigid boxed-tube construction and smooth-operating sealed ball bearings, the LB-8 provides the durability, accuracy, and efficiency required by professional sign shops and fabrication businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"stripe\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- APPLICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBaileigh Letter Brake - (LB-8) 1004979 Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel letter fabrication for illuminated signs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial sign manufacturing and assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall-profile sheet metal bending operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum trim and edging fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom sign production workshops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototype and specialty metal forming projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitectural signage fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse bend applications requiring open-jaw access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight-gauge sheet metal forming tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout\"\u003eIdeal for sign makers and fabrication professionals seeking a dedicated channel letter brake that increases production speed while maintaining precise bend quality.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBaileigh Letter Brake - (LB-8) 1004979 Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLB-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1004979\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOperation Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorking Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrake Tooling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\" × 1\/2\" Single Vee Brake Tooling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Bend Angle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMild Steel Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMain Column Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25\" × 2.25\" Boxed Tube Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSealed Ball Bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStand Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes – Complete Stand Assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAccessories Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGross Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e731325408164\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year Parts Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- FEATURES --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBaileigh Letter Brake - (LB-8) 1004979 Performance \u0026amp;
