Air Bending Force Chart PDF

This document is an air bending force chart for mild steel that shows: 1) The tons of force per foot required to bend mild steel of varying thicknesses at different inside bend radii. 2) The minimum flange length needed for bending based on material thickness and inside bend radius. 3) A formula for selecting the appropriate opening size of the V-die based on the material thickness.
