Machine Description

This 50" Deluxe Pan & Box Brake is used to make
straight bends, boxes, pans, and trays in
sheet metal that is 16 gauge or thinner.

Clamping fingers and bending blocks of different
lengths can be arranged to make 90° bends of
varying widths up to 50" wide. The fingers and
blocks can be spaced in any configuration neces­sary to permit the sides of a box to be bent without
interfering with previously bent sides.

Setback and clamping pressure are easily adjust­ed for different workpiece requirements, and the
adjustable bending stop is used to make repetitive
bends of the same angle.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Pan & Box Brakes

CRUSHING & AMPUTATION INJURIES. The

brake can quickly crush or amputate fingers,
hands, or body parts. Never place fingers, hands,
or body parts between or near the clamping fin­gers and bending blocks during operation.

SECURING BRAKE. Before using, secure the
brake to the floor so it can support the weight and
dynamic forces involved in bending sheet metal.
Otherwise, the brake may unexpectedly move
or tip during operation, causing serious injury or
property damage.

TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using this tool
with loose hardware or damaged components
could result in sudden, unexpected movements
during use. Inspect the brake for cracked compo­nents, damaged linkage, levers, or loose fasten­ers. Correct any problems before use.

LEAVING UNATTENDED. To reduce the risk of
crushing or amputation injuries with children or
visitors, lower the clamping leaf and lock the foot
pedal down when not in use.

METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can
result in severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves
and chamfer/de-burr sharp sheet metal edges.

COMFORTABLE BODY POSITION. The required
body motion to operate the brake can result in
operator injury over time if proper ergonomics are
not used during operation. Always keep your body
centered with the machine and your back straight
when using the foot pedal.

HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a
torch or welding it while clamped in the brake may
weaken the fingers, blocks, and frame. Do not use
a torch, welder, or other similar heating tool near
the brake.

CAPACITY. Exceeding the capacity of the brake
may result in sudden breakage that ejects danger­ous metal debris at the operator or bystanders, or
causes machine damage. Only use sheet metal
that is within the rated capacity of this brake (refer
to the Machine Data Sheet on Page 4).

FOOTING. This brake requires you to apply mod­erate force to the foot pedal while bending. If your
foot slips, you could fall down and be injured.
Always stand with one foot comfortably on the
floor during operation. Never use both feet on
the foot pedal or jump on it. Never have one foot
under the foot pedal during operation.

Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre­cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri­ous personal injury may occur.

Model T10718 (Mfg. Since 1/13)

No list of safety guidelines can be com­plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip­ment, or poor work results.

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Mounting

The Model T10718 is shipped fully assembled.
However, due to the significant dynamic forces on
the brake during operation, you must secure it to
the floor to prevent tipping. Because floor materi­als vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.

Anchor studs and lag shield anchors with lag
screws (Figure 4) are two popular methods for
anchoring the brake to a concrete floor. We sug­gest you research the many options and methods
for mounting your machine and choose the best
that fits your specific application.

1. Move the brake to the installation location
while it is still on the shipping pallet.

2. Unbolt the brake from the shipping pallet.

3. Make sure the foot pedal is locked in the

down position.

4. Attach the safety hooks and chains to the
side lifting brackets, as shown in Figure 3,
then connect the chains to the fork lift.

5. With the help of another person on the ground
to prevent the brake from swinging or rocking
when lifted, raise the brake just enough to
clear the shipping pallet, then remove the pal­let.

6. Lower the brake into place and mount it to the
floor as recommended in the next subsection.

Model T10718 (Mfg. Since 1/13)

-11-

Leveling

Leveling the brake helps the leafs and other cast­iron components remain straight and flat during
the lifespan of the machine. Components on an
unleveled machine may slowly twist due to the
dynamic loads placed on the machine during
operation, which will negatively affect the ability of
the brake to produce accurate bends.

If needed, use metal shims between the base and
the floor when leveling the machine.

For best results, use a precision level that is at
least 12" long and sensitive enough to show a
distance movement when a 0.003" shim (approxi­mately the thickness of one sheet of standard
newspaper) is placed under one end of the level.

See Figure 5 for an example of a high precision
level available from Grizzly.

Loosening Work

Stop

The clamping cap screw on the work stop collar
(see Figure 6) was tightened at the factory to
keep the bending leaf from moving. Before begin­ning operation, use an 8mm hex wrench to loosen
the clamping cap screw so that the bending leaf
can rotate through its full arc.

Bending Leaf Handle: Allows the operator to lift
the bending leaf to produce the bend.

Foot Pedal & Lock: Controls the action of the
clamping leaf.

Foot Pedal

& Lock

When a bend is made in sheet metal, the inside
surface of the bend compresses and the outside
surface stretches. To bend metal objects accu­rately, you need to consider the length of each
bend, especially when more than one bend is
required. This is called bend allowance.

The bend allowance is added to the sum of the
outside dimensions of the workpiece flat surfaces
to obtain the overall length and width of the blank
needed to make a particular part.

Exact allowances can only be obtained by trial due
to differences in sheet metal hardness, whether
the bend is with or across the grain, and difficul­ties in making an exact bend radius. Formulas for
calculating the bend allowance can be found in
metalworking handbooks or the internet.

Adjusting Setback

Setback is the required distance between the
bending blocks and the clamping fingers to prop­erly make the bend (see Figure 8). A number of
factors determine the correct setback distance,
such as bend allowance, bend radius, and mate­rial thickness.

-14-

Sharp edges of sheet metal
can easily cut fingers,
hands, or other body parts.
Always wear leather gloves
when handling sheet metal,
and always chamfer and
debur the edges.

There are many sources to help you calculate the
correct setback for your operation, such as metal­working handbooks, the internet, or experienced
sheet metal workers.

When securing the workpiece with the foot pedal,
the correct clamping pressure depends on the
workpiece thickness. The ideal pressure locks the
workpiece firmly in position between the clamping
fingers and base without excessive compression
that could damage the workpiece or brake.

Rotate one pressure adjustment knob (see
Figure 10) a small amount, then rotate the other
knob the same amount and direction. This pre­vents the clamping leaf from binding on the shafts
and keeps it parallel with the clamping base.

the lock plate (see Figure 11) will spring forward
and secure the foot pedal down when it is fully
depressed.

Pedal

Figure 11. Using the foot pedal.

We recommend that the foot pedal always be
locked down after positioning the workpiece and
before making the bend. This will help ensure
the workpiece stays in the proper position during
bending.

Adjusting Work Stop

The work stop mechanism allows the operator to
produce repetitive bends at the same angle.

Tools Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 8mm .............................................. 1

Wrench 16mm ................................................... 1

To adjust the work stop:

1. Loosen the clamping cap screw on the work

stop collar (see Figure 12) so the stop collar
is loose on the shaft.

2. Raise the bending leaf to the correct angle.

Note: The scale on the stop collar displays

the relative angle of the bending leaf.

3. Rotate the stop collar clockwise until it rests
on the stop block, then re-tighten the clamp­ing cap screw to secure the setting.

Note: If needed, loosen the hex nut on the

adjustable stop cap screw, then use the cap
screw for additional adjustment.

Spacing Fingers &

Aligning Fingers &

Blocks

The clamping and bending blocks can be spaced
apart for clearance when making pans or boxes.
This requires removing one or more sets of blocks
and spacing the others to match the width of your
pan or box. See Figure 13 for an example.

T-Nut

Blocks

To help ensure the bend is even along its length,
the clamping fingers and bending blocks must be
properly aligned with one another.

Tool Needed Qty

Hex Wrench 8mm .............................................. 1

Aligning Clamping Fingers

1. Loosen the cap screws that secure the finger,

but do not remove them.

2. Apply upward pressure to the finger until it
stops, then re-tighten the cap screws.

3. Examine the entire row of clamping fingers
to make sure the upper edges are all aligned
with one another (Figure 14). If necessary,
repeat Steps 1–2 until they are.

Figure 13. Example of block spacing.

The T-nuts under the fingers and blocks that
secure them can be moved along their slots to
allow for any spacing configuration required.

As you space the fingers and blocks, make sure
that you properly align them, as described in the
next subsection.

Clamping Fingers

Bending Blocks

Figure 14. Clamping fingers and bending blocks

Aligning Bending Blocks

The bending blocks are aligned in a similar man­ner as the clamping fingers except you apply
downward pressure (or toward the operator, if the
bending leaf is raised) to align the block edges
with one another.

Cleaning &

Lubrication

Clamping Leaf Slide Shafts

Oil Typ e .....Grizzly T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent

Oil Amount ..................................... 1 or 2 Squirts

Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily

The slide shaft ball oilers (see Figure 25) provide
lubrication to the sliding surfaces between the
shafts and the frame.

Ball

Oiler

Protecting

Use a brush to clear away any metal debris and
dust from the clamping fingers, clamping base,
and bending blocks.

Use a shop rag to carefully apply a thin coat of
quality metal protectant (see Page 19 for offerings
from Grizzly) to all exposed unpainted surfaces to
prevent corrosion.

Sliding Surface

Figure 25. Clamping leaf slide shaft ball oiler.

Only lubricate these ball oilers with a pump-type
oil can that has a plastic or rubberized cone tip.
Do not use oil cans with a metal needle or lance
tip, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler,
break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil
galley.

When lubricating the ball oilers, first clean the out­side surface to remove any dust or grime. Push
the tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler
to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can
once or twice to add oil.
