Press Brake Closed Height Formula
Use the tool set diagram below to determine suitable appropriate tooling sizes. 
The "T" value in the table above is the closed height of your press brake.
| (H) | Die Holder Height | H = T - (P + D) |
| (P) | Punch Height | P = T - (D + H) |
| (D) | Die Height* | D = T - (P + H) |
*Note: D value on 4-way dies refers to the largest V-opening.
