Is there a limit to thickness of sheet metal you can bend?

The maximum thickness depends on the material, and material thickness. Materials such as 6061 and 7075 Aluminum are pretty much unbendable. We offer many thicknesses of materials that can be bent. The thickest bendable aluminum is 3/16" or 0.187"(4.75mm), the thickest bendable carbon steel is 1/4" or 0.25"(6.35mm), and the thickest bendable stainless steel is 0.12"(3.05mm). For larger orders, we can source thicker materials, but there is a reason we don't standard stock these materials. Materials that thick undergo major warping during the bending process, and the final part may not be to your specifications. If you have a project that requires thicker materials, please reach out to our support team for a custom quote.
