Does anyone know a formula or good way to determine the angle between the breaks?
360 degrees divided by 40 scribe lines equals 9 degrees, but that is not the degree between the break lines.
9 degrees is the angle if you were breaking a cylinder.
Since the side of the cone is not parallel...
So I guess the answer is that I really should be using a slip roll to roll the cones. And any distortions from trying to break them with the break press will have to be beat out with a hammer(this is what we have been doing). This is not really the answer I was hoping for, but thanks for the...
Has anyone had any experience forming large truncated cones(6 feet diameter x 2 foot diameter x 2 foot tall x 1/4" plate) with a press brake?
I have the flat pattern but I am having a little bit of trouble determining how to check that I am not over bending or under bending the break lines...
