bending brass sheet

[martinriches]

I need some 2mm brass sheet bending. About 300 x 200 bent into a u shape. Can anyone recommend someone? or maybe I could buy a tool to do it myself. It needs to be fairly accurate [ within a millimetre ] so probably get a professional to do it.

Sorry I can not help with somewhere to bend the sheet. If you need to end it yourself Machinemart sell a metal sheet bender that you clamp in a vice, I do not know if it is strong enough to bend the 2mm sheet.

I imagine that if you were to wander around any estate of small industrial units, you'd find a sheet metal shop that could do it in no time - at non-marine prices.

I like the idea of doing it myself. I am not sure could do it accurately enough without wasting a lot of brass.

A quick Google of sheet metal precision engineers shows up this http://www.cdsheetmetal.com/ firm near Dartford. There must be plenty of others. 1mm does sound quite precise for an amateur.
