I need a "C" channel that has no change in thickness, like bending a plate.
The channel needs to have about a 1-1/2" inside width 1" legs and 3/16" -
5/16" thick. I'll use pieces 1" long and might need thousands of them for a
new product. I've Googled steel/Al channel and can't see anything that
doesn't have the legs thicken as they meet the base. I don't know what to
call that type of channel
Another option would be to make it out of 3/16" steel strip or 5/16" Al and bend the legs on a press. Can I bend the Al without breaking or cracking it? Can I bend both legs at the same time using a 60 ton OBI press?
What do you call it when you punch a hole in a piece of stock but leave the slug half way in the hole?
