All information represented is approximate- actual tangents required are based on many different requirements, such as:
- Bend configuration
- Actual Radii required
- Material thickness
- Actual machine we are bending on (many machines can bend the same materials)
- Complexity of bending (i.e. Spiral bent)
- Distortion requirements (i.e. AESS)
