James,
I worked at "National Pipe" for a while, running a belling machine, 
though usually on 12 inch PVC. The way you described is basically the 
way it was done. Hot cone or cold? My machine was hot from the pace I 
put it through but if I remember right it started out cold. On a smaller 
scale such as yours, I'd slip it over a cone and use a heatgun, sliding 
it down as it softened. I use a heatgun to bend PVC all the time.
