18 year machinist that recently moved to press brakes. I was thinking smaller vee die would be more sensitive to shim than bigger dies. But I hadn't figured out the scale yet. So that die sensitivity chart really put it in perspective for me. Thank you for that.
@impactodelsurenterprise2440 I've never seen a ruler go by 1/10. I use 1/16, all my tools go by 1/16. idk.... go ask someone "bend this at 2foot 3/10 of an inch "

Beautiful machines I ever wondered how your crowning system does it work, thanks for so valuable info!
I noticed that repeting a bend tends to reduce deflection effects. I usually start the bend and pause it for a few times during bending.
why is the scale on the front of
the press in : tenths of an inch?
should it be 1/16 of an inch?
In machining and more precise work inches in drawings are written in decimals up to 4 places.
@impactodelsurenterprise2440 no you don't understand.
what is 1/10 of an inch?
or 4/10 of an inch?
@@MUCKFOOT399 It simply means 0.400" or 0.100". A tenth of a thou(thousandth) means 0.0001". Inches aren't always fractional you know.
