Terminology I think is kind of correct, pictures speak louder than words though...see attached.
I'm going to have a go at making one of these as I need to make some brackets for a trailer.
I have a ten ton press and the metal bar I intend to shape is no more than 4mm
The width only needs to be about 4 inches.
Question I do have is should I try to harden the male part (ooh err sorry) and how do I do that ?
Heat it up and quench it quickly? ...or let it cool naturally?
Any more tips are much appreciated...
Cheers
