BMT brand leaf brakes are a great addition to any sheet metal fabrication shop. These manual brakes have welded steel bodies for reliable performance bend after bend. Adjustment screws are located on the side and back of the machine for easy access. BMT leaf brakes are easy to set up and operate. An angle gauge lets you repeat bend with a high degree of accuracy.
(Note: BMT sheet metal brakes were previously marketed under the JMT brand name.)
