Thanks, Bob! Looks sort've like what I had in mind, although that
particular setup looks like it can only do single flares. In thinking
about it a little more, I'm not sure if using a shop press would be a
good idea or not strictly from a clearance point of view. If you've
got a relatively long or bendy line made up, it might be difficult
to position such a thing in a shop press without it hitting on the
ground or the side of the press, etc. :-( Guess I'll just have
to stick with the standard type. Maybe I'll get lucky one of these
days and come across a hydraulic set at an estate sale or something.
