1. A table bender controller operationally interfaced through a cable conduit means in electronically connected combination with a manually cycled table bending machine for bending a bar stool piece into a specified workpiece shape, said controller further comprising in combination an enclosure cabinet adapted to support a computer and a screen in electronically integrated connection through a control console having a data input means, a first computer program within said computer adapted to receive an input of workpiece bend profile specification data and be accessed by means of said data input means, a second computer program means adapted to calibrate an integration of bend execution commands from said controller to bend execution functions of said machine and the machining characteristics of a sample of said bar stock piece to be bent, a third computer program means adapted to process said input of bend profile specification data and project a sequential digitally annotated bend profile graphical image for each of a successively separate bend sequence instruction projection upon said screen whereby a table bending machine operator is visually instructed sequentially at the workstation location through the bending of said workpiece shape in a graphically screen projected digitally annotated visual image step-by-step process, and a fourth computer program means adapted to download bend profile specification data entered as an alternate access from a remote interfaced bend profile specification data input terminal location.
