Dies

I want occasionally to bend a piece of flat bar no more than 6" wide, and

3/8" thick. Sometimes if is a random angle, and sometimes, standard 45 and 90s. Are there dies available that I can put in a bench press with a hydraulic pump, and make these pieces when I need them? Are any readily available, or what would it cost for a machinist to make me a set that would do up to 90 deg? They got that stuff @ HF?

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
