Bending Aluminum Trim

[gabepari]

Hi all, waiting patiently (well no really that patient) for our new 60x120 shopbot to show up. I am sitting around thinking of what other jobs in the shop the machine could do. We bend alot of extruded aluminum trim around templates by hande and was wondering if anyone has ever tried to make the shopbot do something like this. I was thinking of cutting the template with the bot, then attaching a head with skateboard type wheels (use imagination here) to the spindle and have the bot follow the template profile with the spindle turned off. Seems like it would work just dandy. Anyone do anything similar?

Thanks for your input,
