Here's a bender I made for doing 5/8" AC hard lines...the Rigid bender makes a 5" diameter....mine makes a much tighter 3"
The bend in the last picture is a cold bend.....

That’s as close to a roller bender as you can get.
All I have for the smaller line are these Imperial Eastman.
I will use some lube...
