TENNSMITH's F6 Series box and pan brakes were designed to provide heavy-duty forming capability, along with the flexibility of removable 6-inch box depth fingers. Ample clamping and easy-to-use nose bar adjustments allow for a quick-stting bend radius. Welded steel plate construction and heavy truss rods and braces provide strength and rigidity.

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; - removable apron angle and insert permit 1/4-inch reverse bends in lighter material.
