A gauge conversion chart can be used to determine the actual thickness of sheet metal in inches or millimeters.

Half in thick sheet metal.

Design for manufacturability sheet metal guidelines bends for the ease of manufacturing multiple bends on the same plane should occur in the same direction. For example 18 gauge steel according to a gauge conversion chart is 0 0478 inch or 1 214 millimeter. In low carbon steel sheet metal the minimum radius of a bend should be one half the material thickness or 0 80 mm 0 03 inch whichever is larger counterbores the minimum distance between two counterbores is eight times the material thickness. A half shear button is a common sheet metal practice used for accurately locating parts prior to spot welding.
