Default Bending 1/8 inch thick 7075-T6 aluminum
It says that for 7075T6 in 0.128 thickness the minimum bend radius is 5-7t,
or 5*0.128 to 7*0.128, or 0.64" to 0.896". So to be really safe a minimum
radius of 1".

Found this chart about minimum bend radius for various kinds of
aluminum. It includes 7075-T6, and includes specs for the approximate
thickness (.128 inch, or 8 gauge)

Can anyone interpret this?
