The shop that built ProFormer Brakes for near 20 years went out of business early in '09. We hope to be back sometime in the future. Please check back for updates. The only brakes remaining in stock are one each: L12118, and U4-4812. They are in Indianapolis, IN. Contact me by email if interested.

"How-To" Basics


Is your knee sore? Is that pole in the barn just not the right size? Tired of fracturing aluminum? Need to form a bracket from 1/4" steel? 

ProFormer Radius Brake 

It's FAST It's CONSISTENT It's your answer to forming radius bends ! . The apron swings OUTSIDE the radius and it ROLLS to minimize stress and scraping on your material. Great for radii from 1/2" or smaller, to 3" & larger. (Reminder: radius equals one half the diameter).

Mild Steel Capacity: 6' model using 1/2" radius: 72" 16ga, 48" 14ga, 24" 12ga, 4" of 1/4" mild steel. 8' model (shown) using 1/2" radius: 96" 18ga, 48" 16ga, 24" 14ga, 4" of 3/16" mild steel. 10' model with 3" & 4" diameter tubes: 20 ga full length mild steel capacity. . Choose your length: models are available from 4' to 10'

You get 5 radii with 4' 6' & 8' models: 4 radius tubes + 1 radius head (shown with 1/2" radius head installed and the 4 radius tubes on storage hangers behind the brake) Tubes are used for radii 1" and larger. Four radius tubes are included: 2" tube for 1" radius 2 1/2" tube for 1 1/4" radius 3" tube for 1 1/2" radius 4" tube for 2" radius

The fifth radius included with 4' 6' & 8' models is on a RADIUS HEAD (shown) giving great strength for radii 1/2" or smaller. Tube or round stock with a diameter equal to 2X the radius is welded to a head assembly. You may specify the radius (1/2" is stock).

To change the radius, swap a top (radius head or tube). It takes about 5 minutes to swap & adjust.

Up to 6’ including 5 radii $1969        8’ including 5 radii $2376

 10’ with 2 radii (3” & 4” diameter) $3080

Additional RADIUS HEAD and additional RADIUS TUBE sizes are available

Optional build: 6” diameter tube and the necessary modifications: $500
