Who are the pipe benders?

by **Tomkat** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 1:27 pm

I just picked up this bender for my boat blind. Any experienced benders on here? I have never bent conduit before.

I haven't done it in quite some time, but it's easy. Just have to know where the pipe will actually bend compared to you mark. Once you learn that, line it up properly, and bend away!

I bend my pipe daily....

Here's my advice- be very gentle with it, and when you have made your bends, return it to Lowe's, tell them you didn't need it after all.

Do a few test bends on some scrap pieces so you don't fuck up a good piece.

Used to have like 50 pieces of 1/2 inch conduit in the garage that I tossed out by the road for the scrap man.

I'm a self-proclaimed electrician...does that count.

That's about all 1/2 inch is good for.

I've stayed at a holiday inn express does that count?

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Putting a bend in the exact spot you want it isnt easy. I have conduit benders too but almost never use them. My FIL was an electrician. I got all kinds of electrical goodies.

A lil advice...keep your johnson and fingers out of the bender.

YEAH!!! leave it to the Doc to have the knowledge and skill to guide me through the process.

Vinne is still pissed he misses his old job.

AB would be useful if he was here.

The rest of you are mostly interested in rubbing your junk.

Does backing up into a light pole count? If so, count redbeard in.

Maybe I can text you if I have any questions (math) and you can help me during one of your 3 hours of private time you have every day?

Plumbers use pipe. Electricians use conduit. I'd like to see you bend some pipe.
You got a wire bender? Its like a small brick-bender. Now that I think of it...the eye surgeon I worked for had more and nicer tools than me. Now I see why. Thanks.

I just use aluminum and weld in 90's for the bends.

Doesn't look like it. I bent conduit, and pulled wire in high school, but that was a while ago. Practice on a few pieces to learn where you 90 will actually end up. It's pretty easy to make you bend at 3' end up at 2' 8" if you aren't sure.

You shouldn't have any problem after a few pratice bends...

We told you you bought the wrong parts, you refused to listen, and after a few days you realized you had bought the wrong parts. You wouldn't listen and was then given the piss on it option.
