    Thanks Stan! I'm on a job right now a bit over my bending skill level, but with this and your last video I'm impressing them with the fast learning. Your a better teacher than the guys on the job. It's a High school emergency generator retrofit, so it's offset city in the overheads. Much appreciated.

    I've got the manual for my Klein bender, which I believe is a 30 degree unit like your Ideal, and your discussion here is helping the manual make more sense. I appreciate you doing these videos, they would have helped in my previous garage wiring but these came out after I did it, lol!

    De lo mejor k he visto en utube...simple y bien explicado ...tengo 25 años de experiencia y por los últimos 4 empecé con EMT Pipe....siempre me mantuve alejado temeroso de usar EMT....pero el trabajo es empezar y echarle ganas....además.....sin saber doblar pipa se limita muchísimo las posibilidades de k te contraten ...ánimo...poco a poco le vas agarrando chiste y se va haciendo más fácil....

    Thanks Stan I never knew there was such a difference in benders.

    I'm new to the trade and I have plenty of "Old Timers" trying to show me the correct way to bend but they have a harder time explaining it.Im new and your videos are definitely easier to follow than the peopletryi g to teach me. Thanks a million for the informative lesson hope you put out more videos for us "young pups" coming up in the trade.

  • @ComputerProMedia
    @ComputerProMedia 3 года назад +3

    I would definitely buy if you made a simple video series and sold it :P. If you recorded a bunch of conduit bends in the field with how and why you made the bends, it would get an insane amount of views. Great stuff!

  • @kenwolfe6093
    @kenwolfe6093 8 лет назад

    For those that want to know why..... If you were wondering why you can't go over 360 degrees. Think of it like if the 360 degrees is a circle. If you try to pull wire around a circle it tightened up like if it was wound around a pipe. The more you go over 360 degrees, the tighter it gets. Like Stan said, every little bend adds up. Stan, next time show how to make a box bend. I made so many on a job once, I bought a box bender. Was fast, just stick the end in and push the lever down....instant box termination offset!

    That was great Stan. I’m not a pro electrician, though I’ve done a fair amount for my own company until we sold it in 2004, and I decided to retire. Don’t use it that much these days other than for my basement and garage shops. It can be very confusing to people. I have the 1/2” and 3/4” Ideal models, but older, so the handles have no info on them. I’ve never even heard of the Gardner.

  • @garbo8962
    @garbo8962 3 года назад

    You are so right that Ideal makes the best bender. Think they were called benfield year ago. Benfield use to give you a handy bender 8 or 10 page little book that was so usefull. Never like Garner or Greenlee benders. At one place that I worked mechanic would use rhe 1/2" EMT bender to bend 1/2 & 5/8" round stock to make offsets for overhead conveyor hangers. This would bend the hook out enough to mess up bends. Had to lock all the smaller bender up. Amasing some coworkers never could bend a saddle or back to back bends.

  • @mabmachine
    @mabmachine 8 лет назад +5

    Awesome sessions Stan. I'd love to see how you'd do box offsets without a kicker bender.

  • @brentwilliams191
    @brentwilliams191 3 года назад

    In New Zealand Australia etc, Metal conduit went out like 70 or more years ago. If you have to use conduit use PVC, cut and glue.

  • @JoseMorales-yf1mt

  • @garbo8962
    @garbo8962 3 года назад

    You should go over the proper way to install a LB condulet especially after a sharp kick. If you are pulling down from the ceiling you always want to have the opening facing down to make heavy wire pulling a lot easier. Nice vid. Thanks for staying with the same bender.

  • @MrKen59
    @MrKen59 Год назад

    So far so good - last night I was having a tough time with a bend. Imagine looking down a floor joist towards a wall. I’m using 3/4” emt and I need to go towards the wall 12”, make a right 90, then another 90 down a wall. The distance from joist to the right side of the down bend is 10.5 inches. I could not figure out where to put the marks, let alone manage the bends.
    Basically it’s 2 90’s where wall to wall is 10.5”. It was so hard to manage this and thought I’d ask a pro for some advice or a demonstration.

  • @prozay6856

  • @bcbloc02
    @bcbloc02 8 лет назад +11

    Thanks for the great tutorial, maybe if I do a good job running steel conduit all over my shop I can get less hate mail from the commercial wiring guys. Just wondering how abusive of an environment does it have to be before you would need to run rigid instead of EMT?

    • @RobiSydney
      @RobiSydney 8 лет назад +2

      more wet and explosive than abusive.... I run rigid anywhere within 5' of the floor if it can be hit or rubbed. Anywhere slightly corrosive I run rigid ( like salt water near the beach as well). Anywhere a bird bigger than a pigeon can land on it, rigid (the bird shit and claws do a number). Inside houses I run EMT in attics or crawl spaces where rats can chew. NMT (plastic) anywhere underground with rigid from ground to 5' where it can be hit or rubbed. Anything on roofs just use rigid cuz I got tired of replacing rotted EMT.
      Most of my wiring was residential, with a bit of Racetrack, oil refinery, shopping centers, and swimming pools.
      EMT == Essentially Mouse Tough
      Rigid == will rust out in 60 years when I don't have to worry about it.
      NMT == Not Mouse Proof

    • @ShadonHKW
      @ShadonHKW  8 лет назад +4

      The code states "when subject to physical damage" so it falls into the interpretation of the NEC, when in doubt, build it stout.

    • @dougankrum3328
      @dougankrum3328 8 лет назад +1

      NEC says anything outdoors must be rigid....although I see plenty of EMT that's actually exposed to the weather/rain....

  • @garbo8962
    @garbo8962 3 года назад

    Use to have two 1.25" EMT benders. Best one had a 2 position large foot pedal. To bend a 90 you bent a 45 degree bend then reset the foot pedal. Trick for you shinny guys bending a 90 in1.25" EMT using a hand bender is to place the end od conduit against a wall so conduit does not move all around.

    I have been working in the electrical trade since 2006.
    I have an E-1 license and take continuing education (4 HR) course every year to maintain the license.
    Even though I am a fairly decent pipe bender, I wish there were time to refresh our memories of pipe bending instead of the same curriculum each year.
    Excellent job and excellent videos, looking forward to more.

  • @Dan.Whiteford
    @Dan.Whiteford 8 лет назад

    Really great video with clear, concise explanations and demonstrations - many thanks.
    However is it a building regulation in the USA to be using metal conduit in an industrial location? Many here use cut and glue plastics.
    Also can you use this tool sucessfully with copper pipe?

    • @RobiSydney
      @RobiSydney 8 лет назад

      wrong (width of slot) diameter for copper. Though my grandpa made some curved shims to go in the conduit bender (0.76" for EMT) for bending copper (0.62") For oil lines for equipment etc...

  • @RobiSydney
    @RobiSydney 8 лет назад +1

    the pain offset to do is the box offset. Easier to spend the money and get the Ideal box offset benders. Pop in your conduit, clamp, pop into the box terminator. I really like the Ideal as well the handle is pretty comfortable after a day of bending. I have 3 actually 4 benders. 1/2" & 3/4 Ideal, and a 1/2 and a 3/4 at either end of the same handle from the 1940's back bend is 4.5" on the 1/2"

    , you made the different bends , never bend without looking down using the sight line with foot pressure, forget the handle positions when bending, , look at the conduit position a gardner tends to have just as many advantages and a proffesional should be able to bend with either one

    • @MR-nl8xr
      @MR-nl8xr 7 лет назад

      +mr. a "professional" should be able to let other's work and techniques speak for themselves and not the other way around.

    • @mrromantimothy
      @mrromantimothy 7 лет назад

      Max R exactly ,we get tired of guys who can't work because they can't bend with one of the two types of benders , create kinky bends due to lack of foot pressure , and fill up the bone pile with bending mistakes because they're bending by handle position. that's the only difference between the two :handle position, if you're not using it to bend you can bend with any bender.

    • @MR-nl8xr
      @MR-nl8xr 7 лет назад +1

      +mr. You misunderstood me. That's none of your business, that's between the worker and the company/client. What other's do wrong is none of anyone else's business, your not paying for it. The bone pile isn't coming out of your pocket is it, no it's not. If anything you should be glad other workers make mistakes so you get PAID to go fix it. Typical old timer trying to police a trade instead of helping it.
