Got a start at the tubing bender.
Found a 5/8 carbide button insert in some tooling I got from my uncle. Its a round cylinder, no clearance angles, maybe for a milling head? Made a holder for it, roughed away as much material as I could with a parting tool and had at it. As you can see copulus quantities of cutting oil got the job done. See why machines always look a mess.

Sawed and milled away some extra bits and tig welded in the clamp area.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
