Sort of.
My brother-in-law said he'd found a contraption in the garage that his dad had made, and wondered if I was interested in it.
I stopped by, and came home with this:

It is home-made, but fairly stout and reasonable accurate. It has about 23-3/4" of usable opening. The clamping edge is slightly not-straight.

It has about 1/32" negative bow in the edge. I think I can take this out if I disassemble and tweak it in the press.

I bent a couple of scrap pieces of 16ga sheet metal to try it out.

I could have used this when I fabricated the dash mods for my garden tractor.

The price was right. (free)
