UK - this guy: Measuring everything in mm Also UK - this guy: Next customer lives 125 miles away he’s a big fella 6 foot 4 weighs about 16 stone

I do love nointey degree bends.

This is a lost art these days thanks to companies bringing out quick easy solutions. Nice work dude.

They need a marking on that bender like all the other benders. Ideals, and klein has stars and arrows. This is a lot of wasted time if you have to carry this whole thing and a speed square. Measure the pipe then check with the speed. I can't imagine how long this job takes

As a boat builder teaching an apprentice this method is one of the first things taught when chasing cables.

I like working with conduit, Have installed any for quite a few years now so i’am a bit out of practice. 👍❤️⚡️⭐️

Well that takes all the fun outta having to do it multiple times !

Well actually 301 🤣 great tip though

Damn by the time he bends one conduit i wouldve had a whole 40ft run finished😂😂

Dude I can totally send you a hand bender. Way faster than the setup you're working with now

Never seen it done that way but i really like it, ill be trying that for sure. Thanks

American electricians would of bent that with a hand bender 10 minutes ago

Well you couldn't see that it was 300 mm because a great big banner came up promoting another video !!!!

What brand of tape measure is that. I like the orange.

I don't even do electrical work and I can't stop watching this! I don't know why but it's mesmerising

This also works for measuring the tubes on liquid cooled computers. Very useful information.

I liked the part when he loined them up, especially the fact that the angle was exactly nointy degrees

Everyone is desperate to inform this guy about hand benders. 😂 Like he won't already own one...

I have always grabbed a scrap piece and bent it, and use that for reference

Hmmm... This will be additional to my homebrew antenna making.

Umm if it's 3/4" emt just deduct 6" and bend with a hand bender... 5" for 1/2" and 8" for 1"

i’ll remember this for life.

@efixx Do you have the conduit your pressing the level against level or is it the conduit just there for the added diameter of the conduit?

Thanks, always wanted to know how to bent the correct length 😊

I never have to bend my own conduit at work. But now if I ever have to I know a good trick to doing it.

What a cool bender

Nice little trick is if you have a door frame use that has a guide for a 90’d bend 👍🏻

Great skill 👍

You should mention that the scrap piece your using is of the same size or diameter. This is very important to get the right length.

Loin up that mark lmao

There is a offset measurement. Different offsets for different bends. Mark your 12” (300mm) then go back your offset set that at the arrow on your bender. Bend, done.

Thank's for sharing the best idea 👍👍👍

i love the "nointy deegree beind"

can you like do a tutorial for offsets on plastic conduit?

Brilliant 👏🏻

Awwww couldn’t verify links came up over the tape, I’ll take your word for it

Very nice!

Cool. I've never taken the time to figure this out. Makes much easier pulling cable/wire threw it.

Can u pls make also offset bend the exact measurement on 45 degres

Interesting..i always wondered how to make accurate bends like tgat

I must still be light headed. I thought the title said "Perfect 90 degree metal COCONUT BLEND"

Poetry. Absolutely beautiful

300mm minus 4 inch's put that at the start of the former. walha 300mm. if it's plus or minus 300mm adjust the 4 inch's as needed. It's 5 ½ inch for 25mm conduit

Metric system huh? Cool. nvr seen it used state side for obvious reasons.

Do us a running coupler please

Do a bubble set!

Great tip 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but should be on it from factory really

Take a shot every time he says conduit.

Arrow and take up for me. I do like those box offset clamp bender tho.

Holy cow, I do the math or use the star on my bender to get the back of my 90° bends.

Bend a bigger piece first, then chop both ends to the right length.

Are you unable to use a deduct with binder?

Tried this method, but for some reason I gain 45mm, so if I want to 300mm back of bend it comes out at 345mm? No idea how any help would be greatly appreciated!

fuck I needed that!

Why measure from the end of the coupling and not the end of the pipe?

I learned never to use marker when doing work with conduit because ppl dont want to see marks on their pipes when the job is finished

Question for you Gaz; What size lengths do you generally give to students to work with? If a fixed length that is? 500mm, 600m? What would you say that sweet spot is between best use of material Vs flexibility of bends achieved with a given length?

Very nice mr H👍

It is funny how the folded differences in our electric codes and wire and color between the US and the UK that conduit bending is still the same here or there you got to do the same things and measure the same way and make all the same allowances with all the times I was over there I wasn't remodeling at that point in my life I was still a consultant and didn't even think to go into the electrical and people's homes and take a look I wish I could roll back the clock about the only thing I did differently from the US was electrical out in Russia and some really really messed up electrical down in the Caribbean where I don't even think they even knew what system they were running

We stopped using this stuff several decades ago here in Norway. Use flexi tube instead.

Always trying to come up with a better mousetrap. 😂

Does it work for other angles? How would you go about marking this at 45° or 22.5°

I just love all the a-holes on here talking about just deduct this or that and there you go. The majority of you guys are talking about hand benders that have corresponding marks on the bending shoe that you'll line up with those measurements. Obviously the style of bender used in the video doesn't have those marks... Did you ever stop to consider that maybe they're just showing you another way to do the same job? Also... Why don't you start your own channel to show the rest of the world just how good you are at everything you do.

Best thing here: british acent with metric units.

Do anglos always make electrical work so superfluous?

Alright now wanna see how we bend a 90 🧏‍♀️😂

UK electricians make everything complicated

Awsome...but what's nointy dagrease?

Shouldn't the bender have marks to on it to line up your measurements? I can get a 12 inch stub just by putting my mark on the appropriate marker on the bender itself. No need to mess around with a scrap piece and a speed square.

Brilliant

Or you can mark the former up and bend it,with the 30cm length facing you.if I remember correctly it's 47mm from the back of the former to your bend line for 20mm pipe,and 67mm for 25mm pipe.once the former is marked properly, you'll always get an accurate measurement to back of bend

Why not mark tdc on your wheel and subtract from that? Seems that'd be a lot faster

I feel like this guy could read the ingredients on a box of cornflakes and make it interesting af

Mark back 100mm from back of bend and this lines with start of former on my hilmor

If you were working with 3/4 would that scrap piece your holding the combo against be 3/4?

Crazy we use hand benders half inch emt has a 5 inch 3/4 ,has a 6 inch ... not used to working with small pipe like that and mostly rigid pipe neat tho

In Chicago, IL, USA, 1" emt- 3/4 rigid/imc hand benders are common practice. I would be laid-off if I bent this small pipe in this bender. But then again if it's easier on the body and the foreman allowed it, I'd be using a different bender.

*That mark is crooshal you get it in the roight place hahahaha

Bro get you a hand bender

You sound EXACTLY like the guy who does his scrap wood challenge 😂

Nice set up to bend and cut. Must save time and make money!

Does this technique work with any sized diameter piping?

Noiyntea degree Nice technique btw

Idk man, looked like 301 mm to me 🤣🤣

I'm not an electrician, however these tricks of the trade are excellent. You're giving them away for free too.. 😛

That wasn't 300 mm that was 30 cm it was way off

Perfect bend? I con-duit!

There's markings on American benders

What's in that WIHA suitcase?

Does it matter where you put the scrap piece. Because your level was way out of square and if the position of the scrap piece was pivoted backwards or forwards at all. It would put it out by miles.

Measured from the end of the coupling?

I need a decent bender

And we never mark our conduit with sharpie's, use a pencil That's easily wiped off when your done. Exposed conduit looks better with out all the marks.

THANKS4GIVING

Why not just measure to the start point of the fixed former? Mark a point there, bend a 90 then measure how much is added on. That's how much you take off when you measure for a bend. Eg, if it adds on 100mm then take off 100mm, mark pipe, line up with the start of the former and bend, perfect bend every time in a fraction of the time. Old pipe fitter here, you're welcome.

Or just buy a greenlee 844 bender and burn some scrap to figure out stub 90* for 1/2”-2” Rigid aluminum

I’d hate to see how long it takes him to make a saddle lol. I’ll stick to my ideal benders.

What is nointy degrees ??

Just take of the half width of the die And hold it at the start

You’re doing it wrong brit, not sure what they show you all across the pond but here in the states we just measure our center of our 90 to our 0 mark n just make the mark there for all future references. Pretty standard since we don’t switch out benders every day.
