Along with a new Press Brake, I ordered a Gooseneck punch, I told the guy at R.K. ( The company that makes the dies ) not the press brake manufacturer, that I want a Gooseneck punch that will bend 1/4" material.
He told me that I would be okay with a G-9 die, doing a little research... ( Looking at their brochure )it says the die is rated for 9 ga. material, when I questioned him on it, he said not to worry.
So my question is: Do any of you press brake operators use a G-9 die to bend this... In his defense,I did tell him that this is not something I will be doing all the time, usually it will be 10 ga. or less.
