About Your New Pan and Box Brake
Your new SHOP FOX® 48" Pan and Box Brake has been specially designed to provide many years of trouble-free service. Close attention to detail, ruggedly built parts and a rigid quality control program assure
safe and reliable operation.
This pan and box brake is an indispensable tool if you need to increase the strength of sheet metal
plates with bends, or you intend on fabricating more complicated brackets, gussets, boxes, and fixtures. When bolted to a concrete floor, your pan and box brake allows you easily bend 48" wide mild
steels up to 12 gauge thick in a range of angles from 0˚ to 135˚. The removable and adjustable fingers
can be installed in a variety of positions to accommodate for varying widths of metal.
Woodstock International, Inc. is committed to customer satisfaction in providing this manual. It is our
intent to make sure all the information necessary for safety, ease of assembly, practical use and durabil
ity of this product be included.

before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol
lowed. DO NOT risk your
