Hello,
I would like to start making brackets and other metal items. Would anyone have any links or books on metal forming and the tools needed? I would like to know how how they form complex forms like.
Right now I am looking at a 3 in one tool, which can do 16GA. Would a tool like this be the most useful? I have seen a brake which can do a thicker gage but they seem to really jump in price and weigh just as much. What can I use if I have a thicker gage?
The metal I would like to work with are for robotics and just general purpose brackets.
Thanks,
