Can’t quite understand these press brake dies

[Strostkovy]

Thx, I’ll annotate those articles with your comments before I put hard-copies in the shop.

I’m so ignerunt I had to work on difficult terms like “v die opening.” Seems clear enuf for a v die you can draw with all straight lines but where is the opening measured on v dies where the top is radiused on both sides so side view looks like lower-case “m”?

The theoretical sharp point that the radius took off. You also need to program the radius into the brake.

I find the Fabricator worth slightly more than the price I pay for the subscription, and the time I spend reading it.

Not very.

I would not put much worth in that "advertising only" rag.

Design some of your own, doo the layouts on CAD.
