As you already provide with those stubby fittings (which do have a cost attached to them), and you've already said that you are not properly tooled to do so (which means, atm is a blank canvas), and considering that tubing is a perishable item, it might be worth looking into making something like the BitsPower D-Plugs.

I'm sure a designs that fits both 25 and 37 mm fan spacing is possible (Koolance does it with the RAM fittings, so does BitsPower with the D-Plugs, using a slightly different solution), it's a permanent fixture (only the O-Rings are perishable, and those are really easy/cheap to source), and a much more elegant solution.

And saves you the headache of researching the automated tube cutting tool and the investment on such contraption.

As I said, just a suggestion. There might be hidden obstacles that I fail to see.
One of the obstacles is the QC on the rads themselves (as mentioned earlier in this thread) which would mean the fittings might not line up 100% if they were hard mounted as opposed to tubing.
