I too make single bends in the fingers but when a tighter radius bend is needed I revert to a home made bender, especially useful for making multiple bends and sets in the same tube to exact dimensions. Even with machine bending it is as you say important to keep the tube annealed to prevent rippling or flattening. Neil, we don't all subscribe to MEW so not aware of any article but thanks for the link to Fields Metals Emgee
