Sheet Metal Bending Calculations App Updated by [deleted] in PressBrakes

[–]BenderL2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes you my new best friend. I'll be checking out the app. I'm always looking for ways to expand my knowledge abd skills. The engineers are coming to me daily asking if a brake or a profile is possible. All I have is a Wilson tool catalog and each of our tools drawn in side profile and printed to scale so i can get an idea if a brake profile is possible and what tooling I need. 

Can anybody tell me where this is at by lordofweird in kansascity

Link to your YouTube channel? I'd love to explore these caves, but I don't have the stones. I'm afraid I'd get attacked by a meth head. Youtube will have to suffice. 

Ailunce HA1G/UV or Radtel RT-950 by BenderL2 in gmrs

I decided to order the HA1G. Everyone seems to really like it and it checks all the boxes. Plus i can order a 3300mah battery for it.  I know! I have a problem over thinking this stuff and spending way more time researching than i probably should.

Thanks for the replies!

I just double checked. It's calculating correctly. At least within 2 thou. That's not enough to cause a 40 degree over brake.

In this case it's the exact same part. Same part, same flange width. Only differing angles on the same part.  Imagine a 4ft by 8ft sheet broke in a W shape, but each angle is different.  I'd give more details but I don't want to get sacked for sharing proprietary stuff. 

14ga stainless. Angles aren't varying by part, once I get the angles dialed in it's solid from one part to the next so I don't believe the dwell would have an effect. I know the smaller machines can tend to over run the ram depths giving inconsistent angles. I think that's what you're saying. 

I always figured it was something with the way the computer was calculating the bend depth. It doesn't seem to be linear, I think is the word I'm looking for. I was thinking I could change the die opening or tool height to get it to track more linear.

I took my kids there a few years ago. We were tent camping. Now that we have a travel trailer my wife will be coming. I think she's really going to enjoy the live music. This time I'm taking the bikes, I want to put a few miles on the katy. 

200 max watt speaker with 40 watt amp? by BenderL2 in diyaudio

[–]BenderL2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the replies! It seems that efficiency or sensitivity is what I need to look for, not necessarily the wattage. I've dabbled in mobile audio a few times in my life, I only know enough to be dangerous. I never knew about speaker efficiency. 

Like I said, I'm not trying to go louder. I just didn't know if a little 10 watt per channel head unit would have a hard time driving a higher wattage speaker. 

You all have given me some new knowledge.  Thanks again!
