I'm looking at some VERY expensive machines on line that seem to be the ticket but I'll be darned if I'm going to spend more than I am on my engine for a one time thing. I live in sailboat country but most sailboat cabling is larger than the 3/32 +/- we use on the tail feathers otherwise I'd see if I can talk them into doing some fittings. I can't see the AN fittings being soft enough to use a nicopress tool. So what's the scoop? Inquiring minds want to know...

Some work well and you don't need to spend a fortune. They aren't for mass production and are slower to use. But be sure to get the go no go gauge. I used to make my own cables for hang gliding and have been able to make nice cables. The EAA has a good video on the subject that you can see for free on their site. The tool that they use isn't cheap but it's high quality and he shows how to use it and the go no go gauge properly. I think most people are pleasantly surprised at how easy this is to do well.
