Porkke 24-inch Sheet Metal Brake Pan Box with Removable Fingers

Description

Product Overview

The Porkke 24 inch Sheet Metal Brake is engineered for precision metalworking in industrial and workshop environments. Constructed from high‑strength steel and finished with a durable spray‑molded coating, the brake offers exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact. Its robust frame supports a maximum sheet width of 24 inches and provides a bending angle range of 0 to 135 degrees, allowing users to create straight bends, angles, and complex folds with confidence. The removable finger system—available in 2, 3, and 4 inch lengths—enables fine‑tuned control over bend radius, ensuring consistent results across a variety of material thicknesses. The eccentric adjustment device on the cutting edge further enhances safety and accuracy, while the ergonomic handle design reduces operator fatigue during extended use.

Usage

This brake is suited for a wide range of applications, from automotive panel fabrication and HVAC ductwork to custom signage and prototype development. Fabricators working with aluminum, steel, copper, and other common sheet metals will appreciate the tool’s ability to handle thicknesses up to 0.5 inches without sacrificing bend quality. DIY hobbyists can use the brake for home improvement projects such as creating brackets, frames, and decorative metal art. The intuitive setup—simply place the sheet between the bending blade and the holder, select the appropriate finger size, and apply steady pressure—makes it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its compact footprint (32.68 x 8.66 x 16.93 inches) allows it to fit comfortably on a standard workbench, while the sturdy base ensures stability on uneven surfaces.

FAQ

What sheet metal thickness can the brake handle?

The brake is rated for material thicknesses up to 0.5 inches (approximately 12 mm). Thinner sheets such as 0.02‑0.04 inches are especially easy to bend, while the removable fingers help maintain accuracy on the thicker end of the range.

Can I use the brake with non‑ferrous metals like aluminum or copper?

Yes. The tool’s steel construction and adjustable fingers work well with aluminum, copper, brass, and other non‑ferrous alloys. Adjust the finger size to match the material’s bend radius for optimal results.

How do I adjust the eccentric device for accurate cuts?

Turn the eccentric knob located on the cutting edge until the blade aligns with the desired cutting position. The mechanism provides fine‑step adjustments, allowing you to set the cut line precisely without moving the entire frame.

Is assembly required before first use?

Minimal assembly is needed. Attach the bending blade to the holder, secure the removable fingers in the designated slots, and tighten the eccentric adjustment knob. Detailed step‑by‑step instructions are included in the packaging.

What warranty does Porkke provide?

Porkke offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Should any component fail under normal operating conditions, the company will repair or replace the part at no cost to the customer.
