Bending 22 Gauge Hardened Steel Sheet

Finally bend the sheet up by hand to the angle desired.

Bending 22 gauge hardened steel sheet.

Category thickness minimum bend bend radius. Clamp the wood on top of the metal to the workbench. If you want a sharp 90 bend tap along the crease with a mallet. 22 gauge 0 030 0 76 mm.

As an example if you want to bend 24 gauge sheet metal at a 90 angle the calculation would be. Next place the wood parallel and slightly behind the bending line. You will use the protractor to gauge the brake as you bend the metal little by little. Keep in mind that some metals are more brittle than others.

Step 2 slide the angle iron into the jaws of the vise so that it lays flat the length of the piece of metal you are going to bend. Is it a metal press.

Bending a brittle metal beyond its limits could cause the metal to snap and break.
