With a few exceptions min. bend rad. for most materials is equal to the thickness of the metal.
>>>>> This is only true for 4130 and thin alloys (50 thou or less). Most of the alli we work with (3 to 6mm) needs more, maybe 2x or 3x for 6061T6 and to 6x for 7075T6. Remember the effect of temperature - the winter conditions will render metal more brittle. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
