Whitney Jensen 416 Box Pan Brake | 4" Deep Throat Fingers | 48" Capacity

Whitney Jensen 416 Box & Pan Finger Brake

48" Bending Length | 16-Gauge Capacity | Legendary American Durability

The Whitney Jensen 416 (widely known today as the Roper Whitney U416) is the industry standard for manual bench-style finger brakes. Engineered for precision and long-term shop use, this machine is perfect for complex forming tasks, including deep boxes, pans, and custom channels. Its all-steel welded construction provides superior rigidity compared to lightweight imports, ensuring consistent bends across the entire 4-foot bed.

Key Features & Highlights

• Removable Precision Fingers: The "finger" design allows for the removal of individual segments to accommodate the side-flanges of boxes and pans. This provides the versatility to form 4-sided enclosures that a standard apron brake cannot handle.
• Adjustable Clamping Pressure: Easily adjustable for different material thicknesses, ensuring a firm hold without marring delicate surfaces like aluminum or polished stainless.
• Counterweighted Apron: Features a heavy-duty counterweight system that significantly reduces operator fatigue during high-volume bending of 16-gauge material.
• Front-to-Rear Beam Adjustment: Allows for 5/8" of movement to compensate for different radii and material thicknesses, ensuring the bend line remains precise every time.
• USA-Made Quality: Whitney Jensen tools are celebrated for their "built-for-life" quality. Parts, additional fingers, and replacement components are still readily available through Roper Whitney.
