Our Calculators


Precision Bending: Our Press Brake Tonnage Calculator is a must-have for anyone using a press brake. It helps you calculate the exact tonnage required for bending sheet metal, ensuring precision and avoiding material wastage. Ideal for complex fabrications, this tool is a testament to our commitment to accuracy and efficiency in metal forming.

Accurate Bending Calculations: The Bend Allowance Calculator is designed for metal fabricators who value precision. This tool helps you determine the additional metal required when bending sheet metal, considering the minimum bend radius to prevent cracking. Using an empirical formula, it accounts for the shift in the neutral line, ensuring your bend allowances are spot on.

Efficient Punching: For those involved in punching operations, our Punching Tonnage Calculator is invaluable. It calculates the necessary tonnage to punch round holes in various metal thicknesses. This tool guides you on how to reduce tonnage requirements by adding a shear cut, optimizing your punching process and extending the life of your machinery.
