Material Thickness 3Bend Angle (degrees) 90Bend Radius (inside) 6

HARD STEEL OR ROUND BARFormula: 0.01745 * angle * R + t/2

Allowance 10.923

Blank Length = A + B + Bend Allowance

SOFT STEEL: Wipe with Spring PadFormula: 0.01745 * angle * R + t/5

Allowance 10.023

Blank Length = C + D + Bend Allowance

SOFT STEEL: V-DieFormula: 0.01745 * angle * R + t/3

Allowance 10.422

Blank Length = E + F + Bend Allowance

SOFT STEEL: Wipe with Pad PressureFormula: 0.01745 * angle * R + t/4

Allowance 10.173

Blank Length = X + Y + Z + (2 x Bend Allowance)
