lt2@sierravictor.com — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:42:22 +0000

FEATURES:

MADE IN USA
TENNSMITH’S Heavy-duty hand brakes are designed and built for long service and accurate bending. Welded steel plate construction and heavy truss rods and braces provide strength and durability.
With much more substantial steel side plates than other domestically made units, these brakes have teh rigidity required for upper beam adjustment without the use of wrenches.
Equipped with thrust bearings, the upper leaf adjustment screws permit quick, accurate alignment for different material thickness or radii.
Other adjustment features include:
- Leveling screws and lock nuts on the pedestals
- Jack screws and tensioner bolts on the apron
- Truss rods on the apron, base and upper beam
- Fully adjustable counter balances to facilitate the bending process
- Replaceable nose bar and apron inserts
Removable apron angle and insert permit 1/4-inch reverse bends in lighter material
Bored in line to ensure perfect alignment, the pivot points are fitted with oil impregnated bearings. The hinge pins are high-tensile, alloy steel.
Ductile steel clamp handles, heavy yokes, grease fittings and an apron stop rod complement the many other fine features of these heavy-duty brakes

TENNSMITH 16-18-BF Notcher with Box Flange Blades

smm-admin — Tue, 23 May 2023 19:44:29 +0000

MADE IN USA
TENNSMITH’S notcher, Model 16-18, is a versatile, heavy duty bench tool for shearing, notching, and piercing work. The heavy cast iron construction allows the notcher to be used to side shear six inches of material to its rated capacity; and the throat behind the upper ram is beveled on one side to permit long strips of material to pass without restriction.
Notches of more that 90 degrees can be accomplished in two operations. The upper blades can be reversed for a “nose to heal” cutting action; and the ram stroke can be controlled by means of two set screws to permit limited throat piercing and knockout operations.

SPECIIFICATIONS:
Maximum Capacity Notching – Mild Steel: 16 ga
Maximum Capacity Piercing – Mild Steel: 18 ga
Notch: 6″ x 6″ x 90°
Dimensions, Handles Removed (LxWxH): 19″ x 18″ x 15″
Shipping Weight: 170 lbs.
