The tables below show bend radii and minimum bend sizes for materials and tooling combinations stocked by protocase.
Then on the back side cut about half way through with a cut off wheel.
Understanding the bend allowance and consequently the bend deduction of a part is a crucial first step to understanding how sheet metal parts are fabricated.
One of my readers suggested an interesting way of solving the problem of needing to bend 1 4 aluminum into a hexagon.
If you d like to know more about bending specific alloys or which alloy is best for your application please contact our sales department by.
The bend radius you select may not be available if the geometry of the part will not allow us to bend with the specific tooling required to achieve that radius.
