Hafco Metalmaster MB 1250 Magnetic Panbrake folder

We have an ex-school MB 1250 Magnetic Panbrake folder for sale.

This is an ex-school MB-1250 magnetic panbrake, built to the well-established Magnabend design that’s been a mainstay in sheet metal work for decades. It uses electromagnetic clamping instead of a mechanical clamp bar, which makes it faster to operate and easier on the operator over a full day’s use. Being single phase its suitable for industrial of home workshops

Suited to folding mild steel, aluminium, copper and stainless steel sheet. Common uses include roofing, aircraft panel work and general sheet metal fabrication.

Why the magnetic clamping matters:

No depth restriction on boxes or channels — the open-ended frame lets you fold shapes a standard folder can’t handle
Clamp engages and releases automatically, so there’s no manual tightening between bends
Sliding angle guide on the bending arm for quick, repeatable angles
Continuous angle readout while you work
Multi-stage folding lets you handle lengths beyond the bed size
Takes custom tooling — clamp bars can be swapped for special profiles

Included: foot control, full-length narrow clamp bar, slotted clamp bar, segmented clamp bar
