NOTICE
Standard Safety Instructions
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious
injury hazards to untrained users.
2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.
3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES
DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause
permanent hearing damage.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip
footwear.
6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.
Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.
7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make
sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

Lifting
•
•
If you are unsure of how to lift this equipment safe-
ly, consult a qualified professional.
The Model M1043
weighs 335 lbs. Serious
personal injury may
occur if safe moving
methods are not fol-
lowed. To be safe, you
will need assistance
and power equipment
when moving the ship-
ping crate and remov-
ing the equipment from
the crate.
When lifting the pan and box brake, make sure the
weight is supported evenly with two or more lifting
straps.
•
•
Make sure the body of the brake is bearing the load
(Figure 3).
Make sure the bending leaf stays in the down posi-
tion by clamping a 2x4 piece of lumber between the
clamping leaf and clamping block as in Figure 3.
Machine Placement
Workbench Load
Your Model M1043 weighs nearly 335 lbs and has a foot-
print of 52" x 12". BEFORE moving the brake onto a work-
bench, inspect the workbench carefully to determine
that it will be sufficient to carry the load of the brake,
the workpiece material, and any downward pressure from
operation. If you have doubts about the strength of the
workbench, reinforce it.
2x4
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of mate-
rial to be processed, and space for auxiliary stands, work
tables or other machinery when establishing a location
for your Model M1043 Pan and Box Brake.
Figure 3. Pan and box brake supported
evenly by two lifting straps.
Lighting
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain.
MAKE your shop “child safe.”
Ensure that your workplace is
inaccessible to youngsters by
closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. NEVER allow
untrained visitors in your shop
when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.

Cleaning
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to
protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove
this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-
based degreaser or with liberal amounts of WD-40®.
Front Guide
DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as brake parts
cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a
painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
Remove and thoroughly clean each finger block assem-
bly. Do this by first raising the clamping leaf to make
sure there is no pressure on the finger blocks; then,
for each finger block, remove the cap screw shown in
Figure 4 and slide the entire finger block assembly off
of the clamping leaf (Figure 5). This procedure is easiest
if you begin with a finger block on the end.
Cap Screw
Figure 4. Removing finger blocks.
�������������
After the finger block assemblies have been cleaned,
coat them liberally with a metal protectant and rein-
stall. Make sure to follow the instructions on Page 11 to
re-align the fingers before operating your brake!
���������
���������

ALWAYS work in well-ventilated areas
far from possible ignition sources when
using solvents to clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they DO

Mounting to Bench
The Model M1043 must be mounted to a bench before it
can be safely operated.
To mount the Model M1043 to a bench, do these
steps:
1. Place the brake on the workbench.
2. Use the holes in the base as a guide for drilling and
attaching the pan and box brake to the workbench
(see Figure 6).
We recommend using through bolts (hex bolts that
go all the way through the workbench and are
secured from the other side with flat washers and
hex nuts) if possible.
Figure 6. Mounting holes.
If it is not possible to use through bolts because of
your workbench construction, use lag screws with
flat washers and fasten the lag screws directly into
the workbench.
Some components for
this equipment are
heavy and awkward
to handle. Assembling
them without prop-
er equipment may
increase the likeli-
hood of injury.
Mounting Counterweight
The counterweight provides additional leverage to assist
the operator when bending heavy gauge material.
To mount the counterweight, slide the counterweight
shaft 3" or 4" into the sleeve on the left-hand side of the
brake, and tighten the cap screws as shown in Figure 7.

OPERATIONS
General
The Model M1043 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous if performed incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this equipment. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,
stop using the machine!
Always wear safety glasses when oper-
ating the Model M1043 Pan and Box
Brake. Failure to comply may result in
serious personal injury.
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek train-
ing from an experienced operator before performing any
unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should
come first!
Watch for pinch
points on this equip-
ment. This equip-
ment has many
moving parts that
may cause serious
injury to yourself or
others around the
equipment.
Adjusting Setback
The setback is the distance from the forward edge of
the fingers to the edge of the clamp block (Figure 9).
The setback distance is determined by the gauge of the
workpiece and the desired radius of the bend. Normally,
setback is adjusted at least 11⁄2—2 times the thickness
of the workpiece. (Thicker or tempered workpieces will
need a larger setback. See material gauge capacities on
Page 2.)
Setback
Distance
To adjust the setback, do these steps:
1. Make sure all the fingers are aligned with each other
and that the fingers are not clamped to the clamp
block.

3. Rotate both setback wheels evenly (Figure 10) to
move the front edge of the fingers toward or away
from the edge of the clamp block.
Note: Make sure the finger edges are parallel with
the edge of the clamp block or your bend will be
distorted.
Cap Screw
Figure 10. Cap screw and setback wheel.
Spacing Fingers
The fingers can be spaced apart for clearance when mak-
ing pans or boxes. This requires removing one or more of
the fingers so that you can space the others to match the
width of your pan or box (Figure 11).
To space the fingers apart, do these steps:
1. Remove one of the end fingers by loosening the cap
screw, shown in Figure 12, and slide it off the front
guide.
2. Loosen the top cap screws of the fingers you need to
move, and slide them across the front guide so that
you have adequate room for your workpiece on both
sides.
Figure 11. Fingers spaced apart to allow
clearance of pan or box sides.
Note: You may need to mix and match finger widths
to equal the size of your workpiece.
3. Align the fingers and tighten the cap screws. (See
Page 11 for alignment instructions.)

Adjusting Clamping
Pressure
The correct clamping pressure depends on the workpiece
thickness. The ideal pressure will have medium/hard
resistance while pulling the handle, but will lock into
position easily at the end of the stroke—much like a pair
of vice grips. This pressure is adjusted by moving the
nuts (Figure 13), which are located on both sides of the
brake.
Pressure
Adjusting Nuts
To adjust the clamping pressure, do these steps:
1. Tighten both sides of the clamping leaf with a 48"
wide workpiece (or two smaller workpieces the same
thickness at both ends) in the brake.
Figure 13. Clamping pressure adjusting
nuts and handle stop (right end shown).
• If the clamping pressure feels correct (snug
clamping pressure), no further adjustments are
necessary.
• If the clamping pressure feels too light or the
workpiece can move after being clamped, move
the adjusting nuts up.
• If the clamping pressure feels hard or it is diffi-
cult to clamp on the workpiece, move the adjust-
ing nuts down.
2. Remove the workpiece from the brake, lock the
clamping leaf in place, then loosen the upper nut
pressure.
3. Unlock the clamping leaf and turn the lower nut a 1⁄2
turn in the needed direction.
4. Lock the clamping leaf, tighten the upper nut, and
repeat Step 1.

M1043 48" Pan and Box Brake
Adjusting Counterweight
The counterweight adds leverage to ease the effort
needed to bend thicker workpieces.
The gauge of the workpiece determines where on the
arm the counterweight is placed. For example, the coun-
terweight would be positioned low on the arm for bend-
ing 20 gauge steel and high on the arm for bending 16
gauge steel.
The counterweight (Figure 15) slides up and down in the
collar and the cap screws hold it in place.
After adjusting, make sure the counterweight is securely
held in the lock collar.
Figure 15. Securing counterweight.
Bending Allowance
To bend metal objects accurately, you need to consider the
total length of each bend, especially when more than one
bend is required. This is called bend allowance.
Subtract bend allowance from the sum of the workpiece
outside dimensions to obtain the overall length and width
of the blank needed to make a particular part.
Exact allowances can only be obtained by trial-and-error
due to differences in sheet metal hardness, whether the
bend is with or across the grain, and difficulties in making
an exact bend radius. Bend allowances accurate enough for
average use may be found in metalworking handbooks.

M1043 48" Pan and Box Brake
Basic Bending
Bending operations require the fingers to be parallel with
the edge of the clamping block and require the setback
and clamping pressure to be correctly adjusted for the
thickness of the workpiece.
To perform a basic bending operation, do these steps:
1. Lift the clamping handle to open the clamping leaf
all the way.
2. Insert the workpiece between the fingers and the
clamping block.
Figure 14. Making the second bend on a
tray.
3. Align the fingers of the clamping leaf to the bend
mark on the workpiece, and clamp it in place.
Note: Do not force the clamping handle. If the
handle is difficult to put in the locked position,
the pressure may need to be adjusted for the sheet
metal thickness. The holding pressure of the clamp-
ing leaf needs to be just tight enough to hold the
sheet metal from moving when bending.
4. Lift up on the operating handles until the workpiece
has reached the desired angle.
5. Open the clamping leaf and remove the bent
workpiece.
Note: If a pan or box bend is desired, choose a fin-
ger or a selection of fingers that are as close as pos-
sible to the length of pan or box side lengths.

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model
M1043 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a
habit of inspecting your brake each time you use it.
Oil Ports
There are three main areas to maintain on the Model
M1043:
•
Unpainted Cast Iron Surfaces: To prevent rust, all
unpainted cast iron surfaces on the Model M1043
should be regularly maintained with a high-qual-
ity surface protectant like G96® GUN TREATMENT or
BOESHIELD® T-9.
Guide Pin
Slot
Figure 16. Lubrication points on one end
of the pan and box brake.
•
Hinges: There are four hinges on the M1043—two
for the clamping leaf and two for the bending leaf.
These hinges are equipped with oil ports (Figure
16). Use an oil can with 30W non-detergent machine
oil, and insert 5–6 drops into each port; repeat this
as needed or every week, depending on use. Make
sure to wipe up any excess oil to avoid build up of
dust and grime.
•
Clamping Leaf Guide Pins: Apply a small dab of
lithium grease to the guide pin slots (see Figure 16)
once a week. If the brake is used continuously, you
may need to lubricate this more often.

SERVICE
Aligning Bending Wing
In order to achieve accurate bends, the top surface of
the bending leaf and the attached bending wing must be
flush with the top surface of the clamp block when the
bending leaf is in the down position (see Figure 17).
Clamp
Block
Must Be
Flush Here
Check for proper alignment by examining how the edges
of each component meet each other. Only perform the
instructions below if the top surfaces of these compo-
nents are NOT flush with each other.
Bending
Wing
There are two adjustments that can be made to align
the clamp block and bending wings. First, you can adjust
the ends of the bending leaf to make it even with the
clamp block; and second, you can straighten the main
body of the bending leaf or clamp block by tightening
a large nut on the center of a truss assembly, which is
mounted to each.
Figure 17. Callouts showing where clamp
block and bending wing must be flush.

M1043 48" Pan and Box Brake
To align the clamp block and bending wings, do these
steps:
1. Loosen the bending wing mounting bolts (Figure 18)
on each end of the brake.
2. Align the bending leaf flush with the clamp bar.
3. Tighten the bending wing mounting bolts.
• If the entire length of the bending leaf is flush
with the clamp block, then no further adjust-
ments are necessary.
Figure 18. Bending wing mounting bolts.
• If the bending leaf is flush with the clamp block
at both ends but is not flush in the center, then
proceed to Step 4.
4. Examine the center area where the clamp block and
bending wing meet.
• If the bending wing is lower than the clamp
block, then the truss nut under the bending wing
needs to be tightened (Figure 19).
• If the bending wing is higher than the clamp
block, then the truss nut under the clamp block
needs to be tightened (Figure 19).
5. Tighten the appropriate truss nut as determined
from Step 4 until the bending wing and the clamp
block are flush with each other in the center.
Note: Make sure the truss nuts remain tight,
because they help stiffen the leaf.
Figure 19. Truss nuts.
