We go beyond the general rules of sheet metal bending as our customers want tight bend radii for sheet metal parts. The tables below show bend radii and minimum bend sizes for materials and tooling combinations stocked by protocase. The material thickness will be measured in decimal form not by the gauge number. The bend allowance formula takes into account the geometries of bending and the properties of your metal to determine the bend allowance.

Category thickness minimum bend bend radius. A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

Sheet metal is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes countless everyday objects are fabricated from sheet metal. Browse a variety of top brands in manual bending brakes such as klutch jet and shop fox from the product experts. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. As an example if you want to bend 24 gauge sheet metal at a 90 angle the calculation would be.
