[Qbot2640]

.060 steel is heavy, but do-able...the .125 aluminum is extremely heavy and would require some pretty heavy duty equipment. If the thicker aluminum could be fabricated by some other means, you have many more options for something that would work.

In any event, new equipment that is good is extremely expensive...but good, used stuff is often available on Craigslist and Ebay. For bending materials that long and heavy avoid the Harbor Freight / Northern Tool stuff - it will break and/or hurt someone.
