I did another sample of drip rail to try and tighten up the bottom "vee". Sample flanged as before...



....and radius added to the front face...



Before I had used the sharp tipping die at the crease adjacent to the radius flange only, and in an attempt to keep the vee tighter this time, I also flipped the piece over and used the sharp tipping wheel on the back side. Once the flange was tipped, I also used the tipping wheel (with backstop) to mark the other two folds.. Then the obtuse angle was folded using the tipping wheel, the 90 was folded using a gooseneck die in the press brake. The vee is a bit tighter than before, and now before going any further, I have to borrow some of the stainless cover to make sure that part fits...
