Twisting plate?
I know that one can bend plate in a slip roll or with a press brake.
But how can one put a twist in plate, like taking a strip of plate and twisting it such that the bottom becomes the top? Is that just a matter of putting a bend at an odd angle? But how can I get a very different radius at each end of the bend? With sheet metal, it is pretty easy with hand tools and jigs. I confess that I have never even seen a press brake, and have limited experience with slip rollers. If you want to know why I want to know, or a picture of the application, click this link: http://fergusonsculpture.home.att.net/mobius.html Richard -- http://www.fergusonsculpture.com Sculptures in copper and other metals |
