Questions
Bending and rolling FAQ
How much does metal bending cost?
uMake in Montreal posts bends from $0.50 each, depending on quantity. Ask for setup, material and bending as separate lines.
What is the difference between bending and rolling?
Bending makes sharp angles, on a press brake or a tube bender. Rolling makes smooth curves, like a cylinder or a curved beam. Many shops do both.
What should a tube bending drawing show?
The tube size, wall thickness and material, the centre line radius, each bend angle and the quantity. Ask the shop to check it against its tooling before you buy material.
Can a shop roll plate into a cone?
Many plate rolling shops make cylinders, cones and curved panels. Send the finished size and the plate thickness, and ask whether it fits their rolls.
