Looks like a heavy duty piece of equipment. I think I had a couple of Pexto anvil stakes/metal forming tools a few years back.

Aside from moving fingers around for boxes, and such, the only real adjustments you might need to make regularly would be the thumb screws at the top and back. Those will depend on the thickness of the material you are bending. You could also set the fingers back from the edge to get a larger radius, or make radius bars with some flat stock welded to some round stock for specific radii.
