Bending Aircraft Metal 101

This video takes you through the basic theory of bending a piece of Aircraft Aluminum over ninety degrees. This presentation is a "Digital Project" in the PID 3240 program, at Vancouver Community College.

This is a great video! thanks so much for the in depth info.

This is a great well presented presentation on the subject of sheet metal bending.

[@lonebulbasaur1502]

God bless you for this information, my instructor isn’t good at teaching. He gets mad too whenever asked a question...

[@bdog3869]

Thanks for the simple explanation. Very easy to follow.

[@michaeljohn8905]

Thank you for this video ! Gonna watch it again and again thank you very much for posting !

[@RyanANewman]

This really helped a lot studying for my practical. Thanks!

[@jcook8191]

Best vid I’ve seen for this! Thansk

[@PDZ1122]

After thirty years of messing with aircraft, I have yet to come across a real world problem that required me to figure out bend allowance and set back. Bend the thing, then trim it! I think it was invented by the FAA just to be obnoxious.

[@MadDeuceJuice]

After thirty years you probably wasted several metric tonnes of metal with your technique

[@PDZ1122]

@@MadDeuceJuice Several cubic inches, yes. The upside is perfectly fitting parts.

[@michaeljohn8905]

You’re prolly correct though. As a pilot I need parameters and the same is true being a mechanic. I’d rather know how than not to know how. Also I’m a 4 year A&P apprentice who just got his 8610-2 and I need to know for my test. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS !
Liked and subbed !

[@Soulstealer050]

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot. :)

[@alexanderpedrozo8027]

Nice video very helpful and easy to understand

[@marcredgate7288]

You’ve mentioned grain a few times but not how to bend in relationship to the grain, ie across or with.

[@markpaul7887]

Very helpful! Prepared for tomorrow

[@elysha1980]

Thank you very much for such amazing information you have shared, it is really helpful...
I'm waiting for more video :)

[@ddaverowee]

Thank you for this video it helped me alot :)

[@djfoxalaska]

very helpful and well done,

[@gbreconjumper]

thank you i have my aircraft sheet metal test this morning. please explain the K factor in your next class

[@kenwilson8024]

Thank you! this explanation really simplified what I could not understand in the class. I have to start a four sided box tomorrow out of one sheet of metal. Will I have to take each total from the Developed Length calculation and multiply by 4 to have enough material for all four sides??????? Thanks for any help you can provide

[@aminnikmehr4738]

I love this video
God bless you
❤

[@Volfas]

Thanks! I haven't done this in 4 years, and just got hired lol.

[@sudeep_sapkota]

finally found clean concept

[@TheSEWARZ]

I was hoping you would have posted more. Trying to prepare for my practical and its frustrating when you can't actually practice any of the hands on stuff.

[@rogers.jr.4997]

great video. Really simplified the bending layout calculations for me. But what i cant find anywhere is how do you or how do you determine which side to measure the sight line from or is it just which side do you prefer

[@bobbygeorge243]

Cant finds either

[@watchingyourback100]

this way of explaining was better than my training we kept asking what is set back and the instructor at that time could not explain in a way that we as a student understood and he would call the class hackers which we replied with we are as good as our instructor so if we are hackers our instructor is a better hacker because he trained us

[@commentatron]

Here, I'll fix it for you:

[@howardmatthews2455]

Well taught

[@Kondratko]

why isn't the bend allowance and your sight line distance not the same thing??

[@billcraigcentury21]

Easier to follow than the AC65-15A. thanks

[@ronbarton2276]

you need to have it annealed first or buy it in {O} condition in order to bend it.

[@philipbarker7672]

Please America, start using the metric system. It's way easier.

[@yuvisehmbi7484]

[@gregvetch7494]

No

[@ronbarton2276]

you cant bend heat treated aluminum it will crack

[@airaero5473]

4:59 don't you mean 5.835? That's what it says on the diagram

[@whyliehrynyk1441]

Good catch lol

Who else is trying to understand this bull for Paul C class?

titays

[@beechcraft12]

you look like a fabian gavin

[@mikejustice1196]

To much gibberish with crayons

[@robbie4213]

You never bent a piece of metal in your life lol
