Cool thanks for the confirmation guys. Couple of other questions:
To gauge how much pipe to have sticking out of the clamp with the wing nuts, is using the step on the dye about right? On my tool there doesn't seem to be much difference between the size of the dyes on the step... If that's not a good idea, can anyone say how much I should have sticking out for a 3/16 pipe? I found cutting the pipe with a pipe cutter quite hard, infact the pipe cutter broke on the 1st attempt and basically squashed the pipe. I'm thinking using a dremel to cut it is a better way to go then try to file it down as flat as possible?

The amount of pipe to leave proud of the dies varies from tool to tool so just have a play. As for cutting use the roller cutters as that leaves it ready to swage without the need to chamfer the pipe. Dont forget to debur the inside of the pipe.
