Thanks, Daniel,

I presume the "t" in the table is thickness? Someone in the RCM group
suggested heating the bend line to soften the temper. Anyone here try that?
I'll probably experiment a bit before I go to work on the final piece.

NO!


Richard,

Not much of an answer. What does the "NO!" refer to? No, the "t" he
mentions does not relate to thickness of the material. It is the type
of treatemt recieved after production of the material. Heat treated,
work hardened, etc.

As to anealing, 'no' is not necessarily the answer. He is making an
approach plate holder (btw .050 is a bit of overkill for that). To
anneal, I normally smoke up the piece with carbon from a very
acetylene rich flame and slowly increase the heat until the carbon
just burns off.

I hope this helps.
