Its worth noteing that the three types of material used in brake lines all behave differently when forming flares. With steel, copper or the kunifer type pipe its best to have a play with a random piece of pipe and form both types of end and see how the turn out. On our machine when we use copper we have to have a couple of mm of extra pipe out of the end of the machine to form the ends properly.
