What are your tolerances for bending?

If you want to confirm our bending tolerances, look no further!

Bend-To-Edge Dimensional Tolerances

  • Simple, single bend parts will have a +/- 0.015” tolerance, bend to edge
  • Multi bend parts will have a +/-
    • Each bend adds at least .015” tolerance

Sheet Metal Bend Angle Tolerances

  • +/- 1-degree tolerance on bends up to 24″ long
  • +/- 2-degree tolerance on bends longer than 24″

Polycarbonate Bend Angle Tolerances

  • +/- 3-degree tolerance on bends up to 24″ long
  • +/- 4-degree tolerance on bends longer than 24″
