looking to make my own little tin plate screened boxes..have been making
them, but getting a nice clean tight fold is tricky..has anyone got plans of
a mini folding jig??has to be able to adjust width of fold as will be used
on different sized boxes..typical size 60mm x 50mm x 25mm. with 2 lids.. up
to 150mm x 50 mm x 25mm
tin plate 0.2mm thickness..
I've not tried it as I can't find any suitable sheet metal, but
aparently if you score the inside of the fold line with a scalpel
blade then the bend goes easier.
Where are you finding the sheet tinplate?.
