Im going to make some press brake dies to be used in a shop press to put 90's in small sheet and strap. I know in machining there is a thousand ways to skin the cat so I'm curious on some recommendations on cutting the 45's(or other angles depending on the application) on the dies.
With some measuring and scribe lines I'm sure i could grind a decent edge with a hand grinder but i would like to do this on the mill.
stock will be a 3''x1''x12'' similar to attached picture.
45' chamfer end mill with multiple passes?
adjustable angle plate?
go find someone with a tilt head mill? (I have a 2ch kearney trecker mill that is very heavy and rigid but does not have a tilting head..)
