Looks good from here. As long as it's centered and concentric.
Is brake line flaring difficult?

- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I'd use it.

I'll see if I can get this done this weekend.
Not sure why I get a perfect flare.....then the next is slightly deeper and a bit 'bowl' shaped ?

I think the cause of the occasional bowl shaped deeper flare is not tightening the punch until it's completely flush with the tool base.
I was being cautious not to screw the punch down too tight........and maybe 1/2 to 3/4 final turn of screw being missed.
My flared tube can stand on its end unassisted on a table. I guess that's a good sign.
