V bending

A sheet metal bending method in which a V-shaped punch presses a piece of sheet metal into the die opening of a V-die. The die opening is a V-shaped groove in the die plate. The width of this opening divided by the sheet thickness is called the die ratio and typically ranges from 6 to 18.
