K Factor and Other Sheet Metal Bending Terms with SendCutSend - Episode 1

💥 NEW BENDING SERIES 💥 SendCutSend bends thousands of parts a day, so we know a little something about bending and forming. In video one of our new series we're talking about the terms you need to know when working with sheet metal bending. We cover the angle of the bend, how it’s measured, and why it matters. You'll also learn about apex and setback, two critical measurements for accuracy, as well as flange length and material thickness to ensure your parts fit just right.
Next, we break down bend radius and K-factor, explaining how compression, tension, and material behavior come into play during the bending process.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to fine-tune your skills, this series will help you build a deeper understanding and make more precise parts. Stick around for more insights into the technical side of bending.
