In low carbon steel sheet metal the minimum radius of a bend should be one half the material thickness or 0 80 mm 0 03 inch whichever is larger.
Half bridge lance sheet metal.
Sheet metal can bow under its own weight changing the radius and distorting the part.
The result of applying this bridge lance forming tool is shown in figure 7c.
Avoid large sheet metal parts with small bent flanges.
The minimum distance between two counterbores is eight times the material thickness.
Bends specified as angles may be tolerance at plus or minus one half degree at a location adjacent to the bends.

Gravity can change the point of bend.
In low carbon steel sheet metal the minimum radius of a bend should be one half the material thickness or 0 80 mm 0 03 inch whichever is larger.
The forming tool model may be located and rotated for precise positioning.
At first it forces the material away from the pinch rolls and then toward the forming roll.
When placing an order or requesting a quote please provide a drawing of the part.
For example bend past 180 and gravity will pull the sheet inward.
