Bump Bending Calculator

This Bump Bending Calculator helps you estimate the radius pitch, bend steps, and single bend angle required to form large-radius bends using multiple small hits. Just enter the total bend angle, V-opening, and target inner radius to get accurate setup values for smooth curved bending on a press brake.

Radius Pitch

Pitch = V-Opening ÷ 2

Bend Steps

Steps = round((Inner Radius × Bend Angle × π) ÷ (180 × Pitch))

Single Bend Angle

Single Bend Angle = 180 − 4.775 × V-Opening

  • Bend Angle: Total angle to be formed (°)
  • V-Opening: Width of the V-die opening (mm or inch)
  • Inner Radius: Desired inside bend radius (mm or inch)
