If press brake capacity will not permit a bottoming offset operation, comparatively good results can be obtained by air forming with the F80-F81 set. Some accuracy will be lost. Heavy-duty...
If the offset is 1" or less from the edge, the F84-F85 set can be used. This die set has a backup leader to minimize spreading, resulting in sharper offsets.
In making rectangular tubes, die sets F300-F301 and F302-F303 are often used as a progressive combination. A slight curvature can be expected on the formed side but, whether it is...

Off-center curls are performed in 3 strokes in die set F110-F111 and on-center curls in 4 strokes. On-center curls will not be perfectly round unless a mandrel is used in...
Offset Dies and Holders
On heavier gauge stock, material-thickness offsets will always be of the open-angle form similar to F88-F89 because the outside radii are too large for the depth of the form.
On light gauges, where kinking is a problem, the F52-F53 set is recommended. The spring pad will prevent premature breakdown of stock.
Open-angle offsets up to 5/16" can be produced using the F82-F83 set. Shimming behind reversible blocks changes the depth of the offset. Rotation of the blocks changes the radius. Each...
Out-turned flanges on radius bends can be formed with the F60-F61 radius set in one stroke if springback is not too great.

Single-Vee Die Holders
Small open-hat channels can be produced in the F202-F203 set. The channel depth must be shallow to avoid trapping excess material between the punch and die, causing irregularities of shape.
Small U channels with little spring-back can be formed in one stroke in the F196-F197 set. The rocker insert over-bends the shape to compensate for springback.

T-Shaped Single-Vee Dies
Tall Gooseneck Punches
The F120-F121 set can be used to increase the rigidity of a flat sheet by forming one or more ribs. Overbend allowance is built into the set to allow for...
The F128-F129 set is used to form a tube in a successive number of strokes. The peripheral surface of the form may show evidence of this. To accommodate the required...
The F128S-F129S set is normally furnished about two feet long. The pre-formed tube is fed thru the die from left to right, sizing the part in two-foot increments. Any length...
The F130-F131 set is a three-high hemming die set recommended for 18 gauge and lighter mild steel. Shimming under the adjustment angle on lower section will allow production of an...
The F132-F133 set eliminates whip-up and is highly recommended for high-production hemming of large sheets. The initial operation produces the acute bend. The second operation flattens the hem between the...
The F148-F149 set is used to form a standing seam in two operations. The top station forms an acute angle offset, which is subsequently closed at the lower level.
The F168-F169 set is designed to produce closed-flange forms. When the die opens, the heel travels up, making it possible to remove the formed sheet.
The F175-F176 knuckle assembly allows for movement of the punch, resulting in better alignment with and release from the bottom die. This assembly can be used with punch profiles F177,...
The F177-F178 set forms a U channel in one stroke. Springback allowance is built into the die set.
The F179-F180 set produces a square channel in one stroke. If excess material is trapped in the die, some irregularity may be noticed in the bottom of the channel.
The F181-F182 set produces a radius bend and return flange in one stroke. This set is not recommended for a radius larger than 1".
The F186-F187 set can be used to form flat-bottomed channels in one stroke. Stripping is assured with release wedges and hook strippers.
The F198-F199 set produces a V rib in one stroke. For heavy-gauge metals, the die can be relieved to reduce the tonnage, but some accuracy will be lost.
The F200-F201 set forms four square bends in one stroke. The spring pad in the die keeps the web flat. Release wedges in the punch and die permit easy removal...
The F50-F51 set is a form fitting radius die set with spring-back allowance built in. It is manufactured to form a specific type and thickness of material for maximum accuracy.
The F54-F55 set is used to radius the edge of a sheet prior to a rolling operation, thus eliminating the flat ends normally encountered.
The F58-F59 set must be used when the return flange starts at the end of the radius. The return flange must be pre-formed to an angle less than 90 degrees.
The RVP3 is infinitely adjustable to accommodate a wide range of metal thicknesses. As shown in these photos, cut-outs near the bend line and very short flanges are easily handled...
The RVP4 is infinitely adjustable to accommodate a wide range of metal thicknesses. As shown in these photos, cut-outs near the bend line and very short flanges are easily handled...
The special gooseneck punches may be used to form boxes and channels with long return legs. Die F39 can be fastened directly to press bed.
The F142-F143 set is usually used to form seams over 1/2" high. Tightness of the seam is controlled by shimming under the adjustable anvil.
To form accurate corrugations in light-gauge materials, the F228-F229 set can be used. Spring-pressure pads assure positive stripping and release wedges prevent marring of the formed material.
Two-Vee and Quick-Change Die Holders
When considerable material springback is encountered in channel forming and over-bending is necessary, the F194-F195 set is recommended. The spring pad actuates the rocker inserts, causing over-bending near the bottom...
When flange on 90 degree bend is too short to permit forming on standard vee dies, die set F256-F257 is recommended. Forming angle is tipped and dies are heeled to...
When forming a four-sided box, the punch must be tall enough to prevent the preformed sides from striking the ram.
When forming a radius on a sheet that has up-turned flanges on the ends, the F62-F63 set is necessary. Female die has wiper plates on each end to hold the...
When forming a shallow open-angle offset in the middle of a sheet, the F78-F79 set is recommended. Large radii and maximum relief help reduce press brake requirements. Dies F78A-F79A are...
When forming a shallow open-angle offset in the middle of a sheet, the F78-F79 set is recommended. Large radii and maximum relief help reduce press brake requirements.
When forming an acute-angle offset at the edge of a sheet, the F70-F71 set has the least tendency to spread. Capacity should be limited to 20 ga.
When forming large offsets, the best results are obtained with a die set such as the F76-F77. The forming angle is tipped to prevent bowing of the offset web.
When wiping a radius on the edge of a sheet, the F164-F165 set is recommended. Overbend allowance is built into the die set to compensate for springback. Maximum capacity for...
