Bending Terms

This series was filmed and edited by Keaton Bowlby

SendCutSend bends thousands of parts a day, so we know a little something about bending and forming. In video one of our new series we’re talking about the terms you need to know when working with sheet metal bending. We cover the angle of the bend, how it’s measured, and why it matters. You’ll also learn about apex and setback, two critical measurements for accuracy, as well as flange length and material thickness to ensure your parts fit just right.
