I need to bend a mix of 8mm and 10mm copper pipe, I see that one can

Not used a mini-pipe bender, but 15/22m pipe benders are far superior
to bending springs.

With a new tool, you may have to deburr a bit with a file around the
pipe entry/exit points from the curved channel, and a little bit of
grease in the channel also helps.
