Is your knee sore? Is that pole in the barn just not the right size? Tired of fracturing aluminum? Need to form a bracket from 1/4" steel? 

ProFormer Radius Brake 

It's FAST It's CONSISTENT It's your answer to forming radius bends ! . The apron swings OUTSIDE the radius and it ROLLS to minimize stress and scraping on your material. Great for radii from 1/2" or smaller, to 3" & larger. (Reminder: radius equals one half the diameter).

Mild Steel Capacity: 6' model using 1/2" radius: 72" 16ga, 48" 14ga, 24" 12ga, 4" of 1/4" mild steel. 8' model (shown) using 1/2" radius: 96" 18ga, 48" 16ga, 24" 14ga, 4" of 3/16" mild steel. 10' model with 3" & 4" diameter tubes: 20 ga full length mild steel capacity. . Choose your length: models are available from 4' to 10'

You get 5 radii with 4' 6' & 8' models: 4 radius tubes + 1 radius head (shown with 1/2" radius head installed and the 4 radius tubes on storage hangers behind the brake) Tubes are used for radii 1" and larger. Four radius tubes are included: 2" tube for 1" radius 2 1/2" tube for 1 1/4" radius 3" tube for 1 1/2" radius 4" tube for 2" radius

The fifth radius included with 4' 6' & 8' models is on a RADIUS HEAD (shown) giving great strength for radii 1/2" or smaller. Tube or round stock with a diameter equal to 2X the radius is welded to a head assembly. You may specify the radius (1/2" is stock).

To change the radius, swap a top (radius head or tube). It takes about 5 minutes to swap & adjust.

Up to 6’ including 5 radii $1969        8’ including 5 radii $2376

 10’ with 2 radii (3” & 4” diameter) $3080

Additional RADIUS HEAD and additional RADIUS TUBE sizes are available

Optional build: 6” diameter tube and the necessary modifications: $500
