Nice bender. A couple years ago I visited a company that makes aluminum landing gear for homebuilts. Their setup was very similar to yours. Amazing to me was how they cut the blank before bending. Used an ordinary circular saw with inexpensive wood cutting blade to cut the 3/4 aluminum. Then gundrilled for brake lines and bent them with a homemade press and a digital protractor.
