Default Square tube bending dies

Just what does the profile look like for dies used to bend square
tube? I would like to either adapt some home made dies to the HF pipe
bender or the hosefield (sp) type of bender that HF sells if its
possible. I know I had a set of dies one time for bending up square
tube but darned if I can find them now or remember what they looked
like.

I have bend some pretty decent radius in square tube with a set of
home made dies made out of a pieceof steel pipe and the homebrew press
brake, but I prefer to have a more smooth radius on the tube. Would
like to go 180 if possible, and the tube size / gage would be 1/, 3/4
and 1" in no more than 14 ga more than likely mostly 16 ga.
