Does anyone have a formula? I was looking in the Machinery Handbook but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance. Josh

I would think 180 deg would form a hem which would be the most you could bend. Here is a link but not for Stainless but might help. http://www.sylvain.trudel.com/SolidWorks/Sheet Metal Bending Calculator.htm Upvote 0 Downvote
