Default Putting a curve into a sheet metal U channel


"Why is everyone so cruel" wrote in message

I need to put about a 30 degree curve into a piece of sheet metal U
channel, curve needs to have a radius of 100mm.

Channel is 75mm wide x 15mm deep with 15mm flanges, made out of .75mm
sheet.

I dont have access to rollers - not sure how they'd be any use. I've got
an hydraulic press brake, plus usual workshop tools.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.


If you are bending the flanges this might work.

Bending the other way means fabbing it.
