Fabrication
• For circumference we
Need dimensions W,
L, and R
• Circum. = D+2W
• Ex. L=12 D=5, W=6
C=3.14 x 5 + 2 x 6
C=15.7+12
C=27.7
90° angle with dividers
• Function to strengthen
and eliminate edges.
• 2.5 times wire diameter
will be the allowance
for the edge.
Allowance for Wired Notch
• AKA:
Box and Pan Break
• Removable Fingers of
various widths.
• Rearrange to form any
width of bend.
• Leave out fingers in
way of making a
proper bend.
Hand forming
sheet metal
• Need two clamps,
angle iron, sturdy
bench, wooden mallet.
• Clamp angle iron over
sheet metal along bend
line.
• Use wooden mallet
minimize deformation
Slip Roll Forming Machine
• Bends made on
opposite sides and
ends of metal
• Hand groover 1/16”
wider than seam.
• Mandrel used as
backing during
setting-down
operation.
Specialized metal forming tools:
Setting down and Crimping
Used for mashing seam together Corrugates the ends of cylinders thus
in hemmed fabrications reducing the diameter so it can fitted
into another cylinder of the same
diameter
