Hello JDubb816, consider that the "tensile" of bends dictates which mandrel combination is to be used based on elongation factors and not the thickness of those specimens. If you are needing to attempt a "face bend" on some material that is 1" for instance, the correct mandrel combination and the press configuration to make the face and root bends on something of that thickness isn't too likely. Additionally, the neutral axis of a coupon that is 1" thick has likely already put you out of the range of elongation. That's why a side bend on 1" material is cut to a 3/8" thickness. That's my short, non-code supported answer. Others will likely chime in with code specific answers that will site why you cannot do what you are proposing. Best regards, Allan
