This is the bender I am looking at to use in
building my cage.
I'm going on the assumption that it has a 1 1/4"
I.D. "pipe" mandrel, and that should be equal to
an 1 5/8" O.D. "tubing" mandrel. My thoughts are
that if I lubricate the mandrels well when
bending, and go real slow, it should work. My
thinking,however, could easily be flawed.
