I did 2x5 with 10 degrees. Did a whole wall with 10 boxes aligned and every single one was exact box offsets. At the 4” mark I noticed it would get on my first bend and it would take some bend off to me. 5 leaves it a lil past the bend so it makes true offset.
Bend with you foot to avoid dog legs especially box offsets. Looking down the pipe hoping it’s straight is how the doglegs happen. If you bend with your foot the first bend will face straight down easier to see it straight down then looking down the pipe. I’m just giving my opinion for first timers.
I should buy a conduit bender. I did a 20 feet conduit run for my security camera. At the junction box the pip going into that hole doesnt look like a pro job lol. Thanks for the great video.. Keep it up
How do you guys actually do this job? Are you aware of the math behind it? Doing a box offset requires a 3/8” offset. Using 10°bends calls for a multiplier of 6. So 2-1/4” Space between markers. “The way the professionals do it” is use the right math.
Good video. Straight to the point. Thanks.
This dude just finished blazing...and decided to make a video about bending a box offset..
Great illustration bro 👊
Using a stand-off strap/pan-hanger/Mini within 3',
Works every time 🤣
I do a 3x3. I like the new intro.
When I’m really feeling it 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 lol
Thank you

Why ? The whole point of the box offset is create a smooth of a look as possible . 2x5 is unnecessarily wide in my opinion .
2x2 is perfect .
True offset ? We want a BOX OFFSET . let me guess. Your no more than 24 ?
I use 2×5 also 👍 but not in the air, I already got a feel for it,,, also using a torpedo level on the second bend, making sure it's straight

Cool vid man. Only thing I hate is you make the perfect offset then find the wall ain't flat so you have to just tweak the bend again.
This is like the Mr Roger’s version

I was taught 2-1/2 then 2 , I’m guessing it’s something someone else made up lol
I suspect both are about equally good and it comes down to personal preference.

Correct sir
