How Small Can a 6mm Rod Part Be and Still Hold Tolerance?

Short answer: As small as the demonstrated staples - when both ends bend in one clamp and a dial gauge checks the result. This video shows 6mm steel rods formed into tight U-parts with measured leg lengths.

FAQ

Is the dial gauge reading recorded? For batch runs, first-article and periodic checks are logged with the order.

Can stainless run the same program? Yes - springback compensation adjusts the angles per material.
