90 degree bender for 1/8" bar

I've just spent the past 1/2 hour on the internet trying to figure out if there is a tool that will bend 1/8" stainless steel bar at a 90 degree angle. I know there are a lot of compact benders out there, but I don't know if the throat is tall enough to accommodate 8"L x 1-1/2" W x 1/8" bar. Does anyone on the list have a bender that can bend bar at a sharp 90 degree angle?

I usually heat the stainless in my vise with my rosebud torch and hit it with a sledge hammer until it bends to a 90 degree angle. There has to be a quicker, better way. I will need to make 140+ of these for a fireplace installation. I'm trying to create an estimate for all of our installation labor and I'd like to cut down on my fabrication labor time.

Help!
