3/16 bend radius? - Zenith Aircraft Builders and Flyers2024-03-29T08:27:12Zhttps://zenith.aero/forum/topics/3-16-bend-radius?feed=yes&xn_auth=nosomething you might try, usin…tag:zenith.aero,2019-11-22:2606393:Comment:7010282019-11-22T17:59:59.611ZRussell Johnsonhttps://zenith.aero/profile/RJohnson
<p>something you might try, using a piece of light alum angle extrusion, use a router to get the radius you want, tape it to the 3/16" die using double sided tape. It would be best to polish the face of the angle after routing and coat the bending surface with a lubricant to keep the bending die and the alum sheet from galling.</p>

<p>If you find you can not substitute the bend radius, you may be able to use 3D printed dies. It is not common yet, but from articles I have seen it appears to work for short runs.</p>

<p>Brian,</p>
<p>Look at FAA publication AC 43.13-1B, page 4-14.<br/>The table gives bend radii for different alloys in terms of sheet thickness.</p>
