It's vertical, not horizantal.
It was horizontal laying on the table when I first cobbled it together for a job.
Then I added pipe sockets to put legs under it.....
And yes, it is VERY handy.
I simply walk over, snap it on, make some chalk marks on the "back" to position the part,
adjust the HF $10 dial indicator for "down stop" and I'm banging out parts.
I have a NIB 8" dia. x 10" stroke cylinder laying around, I want to build a "nice one" just like the OP's linked.

Tubing benders are quite different.
Also, the easiest and best-looking way to do a custom exhaust is by buying u-bends at the muffler shop then gas welding them to fit.
