Could any of the PE gurus out there give me a hand on this one? I've got a set of PE fenders and a small shop bending station, but I cant for the life of me visualize how I can make two opposite folds on a part like this.

To be clear, this is the profile we want to end up with:

The first fold (90 degrees) is strait forward...but how can I then position the part in the tool to make the 45deg...or is this impossible?
 
Hi Sunsanvil.
First fold the 90 deg.
Then flip the piece over and adjust the tool such that the 90 deg is over the edge of the tool bed facing down, and the tool adjusted to the new fold line. You may have to put something under the bed of the tool to raise it off the bench.
Then fold the exposed end up to 45 deg.
It's the same theory as folding sheet metal, only in miniature.

I hope this was useful.

Jim
