Complex parts, such as HVAC transverse duct forming and down flanged parts, as well as architectural sheet metal and signage applications, can easily be formed using these machines.
Tennsmith’s HBT Series is designed to provide forming capabilities for complex parts. These machines are truly a universal hand brake, which allow for the removal of both upper and lower segments of fingers.
The HBT72-16 is built with the same high-quality features and standards that Tennsmith brakes are recognized for throughout the industry.

Radius fingers.
EBT Series is a versatile machine that allows for the removal and repositioning of both the upper and lower segments for forming complex parts. In addition, the EBT incorporates gas spring cylinders in lieu of traditional counterweights to assist in the bending process and the raising and lowering of the upper beam. The brake also features goat’s-foot-style upper beam tooling.
