Re: Advice - First Sheet Metal Frame

Though it may sound excessive, our CNC bend operator prefers the bend annotation dimension on the print down to 3 places past 0 (ie: 1.203").

My personal preference, especially when running structural components with sheet is to radius every single corner. Not only does it look better, but according to multiple FEA analyses on our previous frames can decrease stress concentrations and facilitate a long term stable solution.
