Greetings all....
This is no doubt another newbie no-brainer question but I have 0.090" 2024-t3 that I need to bend through 90-dgrees for s nose rib fitting.
Having spent some time cutting it out, getting the right corners, radius, etc I then came to bending it....

Horrible cracks down the back....
So... do I need a new brake for bending ali? User just not know what he is doing?
I was hoping to avoid ordering angle stock as I have enough of this but this is the first of many 90 dgree bends to come.

My thanks
