Tube bending guide

Someone have a picture of how you have this thing set up? I've got a pro tools bender set up vertical with a hf air over hydro ram and I've got a jd2 horizontal with an enerpac cylinder and pump... They aren't *that* different in speed bending a 90. Maybe 10 seconds, not enough to give a shit about. Like I say, you'd have less leverage but if you move the ram closer to the pivot point it will bend quicker.

Essentially this but turned vertical. Always been slow as heck.

Depending on pressure, you could use a power steering pump, powered by an electric motor to furnish hydraulic power, but as stated above, is a combination of pressure and volume. I'm not sure flow rates on ps pumps but it's an option..
