    Bending Stainless #8 (mirror finish)

    What's the best way to bend #8 Stainless Steel without marring the mirrored surface. Would be sheet of approx 0.8mm...if I can do it...

    Thanks for any tips

    I expect the best way would be to use a press brake with a polyurethane bottom die and have the mirror finish side against the bottom die.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
