Narrowed down to a Manual Model 32. Anybody bend any 1.25 ID 1.66 OD with there Manual

bender. I was wandering if it was aproblem to bend with a Manual bender. I am looking at

pipe because of price and all we want to build are some stingers,sliders and other projects.
 
As long as you buy the correct sized die, it won't be a problem. It will be a lot easier to bend than 1.75 hrew or dom. I've got a 240* 1.25" pipe die that I use a fair amount with no problems. Though it's pro tools and a hydraulic bender... Buy uncoated astm rated pipe from an actual steel supplier though, not lowes junk.
 
Thanks I am looking at HandRail Pipe at a local welding and Steel shop. It has a real smooth finish.
