I have a 240 ton x 12' hydraulic brake, I've been acquiring dies but cannot bite the bullet for a bottom die to bend 3/4" and 1" plate.
I have a 8" x 8" x 1/2" angle that I want to mount on a pc. of 7/8" x 5" flat and then run ( two ) 3/4" x 6" flat bars on an angle for the vertical section of the die. any thoughts good or bad.
So the vee opening will be approximately 10 3/8".
This is not for precision bending, it will be for crude bending purposes.
It will be made from A-36 steel and I might even try my hand at flame hardening, the die will be 10' long.
