Bending 1/8" aluminum flat bar. - The Home Shop Machinist
2012年2月13日 · It would be good to make your 90 degree bends with some radius if the design will allow it. If you are going to "work" the aluminum very much, then you will have to anneal it again.

2023年8月15日 · Needed to bend some flat bar 1/8 x 1-1/2 wide into a U shape that will slip nicely over a 2 x 4. The length to start is 10-1/2 long, so the resultant 'legs' are about 4-1/2 long.
