question on bending .040 aluminum on a brake
I need to bend some 6061T6 .040 aluminum that is a U shape, 8" wide
with 2" legs. I wanted to know if I mark exactly the 8" and make the bend will the radius cause the overall width to be less or more than the 8". I dont want to waste material by trying to bend 8" width and then the overall width is either 7 7/8" or 8 1/8", any suggestions? Thanks, Mike |
