Here is some 1/8 T6061 and 3000 series aluminum bent in perfect 90°. The 6061 doesn’t like to be bent but I using scrapes right now. The 6061 didn’t crack but fractured a little.
We were using our own Titan 25T in our Engineering shop today, working on making a few parts for some upcoming projects! Nothing better than using our own equipment to make future products! We’re makers too! Just wanted to share with everyone the fun we’re having with the Titan 25T (and Crossfire XR)!
These are excellent. After watching them, I assumed that I could use the SendCutSend’s Fusion sheet metal rules for my designs. With my recent video shown above, my bend radius (both Fusion calculated and measured) is much different than SendCutSends because my 4-way die opening widths are wider that SendCutSends. In fact, I made the video above after figuring this out. All this is a good learning experience in sheet metal fabrication.
I’m sure there is. Where it gets complicated is calculating all the bend radii for all the different metal thicknesses, metal materials and 4-way die widths.
Is it possible to specify an inside bend radius of one’s own choosing in your calculator or is it always a default radius provided by the calculator? Or am I missing something?
