National 12 Ft. x 18 Ga. Straight Brake - N14418

The model N14418 - 12' x 18 Ga. Straight Brake from National is designed with the HVAC and metal roofing trades in mind.  With an 18 gauge capacity rating and lighter bending leaf, the brake requires less effort to operate and is priced lower than standard 16 gauge models.  National bending brakes offer superior strength and durability with a body constructed of welded steel plates, a much stronger design over the cast iron frames commonly used by other brake manufacturers.  Heavy truss rods, reinforced bracing and precision bearings ensure smooth, accurate and repeatable bending for the life of the machine.  The design of the National brake also features replaceble bushings at common wear points to further extend the working life of the machine.  The National N14418 ships standard with extended bending handles, dual counterweights and an apron stop for setting repeatable bends.  Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, the National 12 Ft. x 18 Gauge Heavy-Duty Straight Brake is expertly built with simplicity in design, reliable bending capability and the quality that serious fabricators demand.
