I know less about mandrel bending than I do about welding, but I have seen aircraft mechanics use certain equipment. Unfortunately, it all looks pretty complicated and expensive to me. Hopefully some of these links will help.

I use a Hobart Handler 135. I have 3 gas bottles I run:
75/25: Mild Steel
100% Argon: Aluminum
Tri-Mix: Stainless Steel
My attempts at Al welding have been poor. I am still trying, most likely will pick up a TIG later this year.
Mandral Bends are available at www.burnsstainless.com
