10. Measure values shown in Figure 56 and
compare to values calculated in previous
sections.

— If values do not match, a calculation or
measurement is incorrect. Correct calcula-
tion or measurements before proceeding.
— If values do match, calculations and
measurements are correct. Proceed to
Step 11.
11. Cut workpiece to measurements in previous
steps to prepare for bending operation.
Note: The method for creating specific radii
is a trial-and-error process. Due to the many
variations among metal workpieces, no sin-
gle positioning will create the same curve
on all materials. We suggest practicing on
scrap material of a similar size and thickness
before attempting the operation on a desired
workpiece.
