We have aluminum tube benders at work, automatic and manual. The manual one is essentially a modified 8" vice with 3 flat rollers. 2 of the rollers are bolted to c channel material sticking out a few inches on the fixed side and the last roller is bolted to the center of moving side.

In reply to QuasiMofo (John Brown) :

I'm really tempted to make or buy one for the theater.  I would use it for something on a set build at least twice a year.
