TENNSMITH's FH Series 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.

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.








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
- replaceable nose bar and apron inserts

The FH Series is of all steel construction with heavy duty steel clamp handles, heavy yokes, grease fittings and an apron stop rod complement the many other fine features of these heavy-duty brakes.
