Strap how to question

[Dhal22]

I need to create a strap, actually 2 (.050 thick sheet) x 1/4" wide that will wrap tightly 1/2 around (at the moment) a 3/8" drill bit.

Crude drawing attached........

Why?

I make these by running the side of an end mill the larger diameter, 3/8” + 0.050 + 0.050 half way into a base piece, put it on the hydraulic press, put the strip on that, and press a 3/8 drill bit down in to that. Makes a beautiful piece.

Why?

I need to strap a brass tube in a scale manner. These are just internet photos.

Forming & blanking parts without a female die can be achieved using a urethane block as shown in this video. Pressing a 3/8" rod on top of the material and into the urethane will give an accurate neat u shape. For the full form the pin could be recessed 1/2 way into a plate.

Search Joe Pie's YT channel, he makes the same part for his model cannons.
