Got quite a few press brake dies and with most, their function is pretty easy to tell, however...
Pls look at these three. Please tell me about them. “A” I can’t figure out, it is a lower die but what’s the form of the upper and what does the pair form in sheet metal?
B and C are identical in form but differ in how their setscrews are installed. I’m guessing both are lowers for holding smaller die sections. B has a pair of opposing setscrews about every foot. C has setscrews on one side only, but spaced much more closely than in B. What’s different between B and C, if anything, regarding use? Is only one short die section at a time used in these setscrew-infested long dies?
