About LinkBacksFor a future project, I wanted some triangular sheet metal sections. I have a finger brake folder, but needed some special tooling to do this job. It works, and the 'future project' is about half complete.

Thanks Occasional machinist! We've added your Triangle Folding Fixture to our Brakes and Presses category,
as well as to your builder page: Occasional machinist's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:
New: BuildThreads.com - 300+ build posts/day (with photos)
A reliable shape for locating pins that need to disengage, often by hand, is bullet shaped. The lower portion remains cylindrical, and the 'point' easily shaped by a cordless drill and belt sander, in the case of hardened dowel pins.
The solution of a internal and removable forming 'die' is a great solution; if held to limits of pan brake gauge & width capacities.
Sincerely,
Toolmaker51
...we'll learn more by wandering than searching...
