I found it to be a little TOO in depth, but I do appreciate that the video was intended for people totally unfamiliar with it. I just got a greenlee 1800 and didn't know where I was supposed to put my mark against the bender. Lol. You answered my questions sir.
Thank you!! I would love to be able to do that for you. As I build this channel and my my instructional business I plan to get a Triple Nickel and other types of smart benders. So with that being said I plan to in the future. Thank you for your support!! CM
Hi, dear Craig Michaud, the instructor. I myself I always use sharpies all the time on metallic conduits, emt, rigid, even cantrust. Have you ever tried passing back on your mark with a sharpie and rubbing the wet ink marking with a glove ? For it erase like 99%of the mark after I done my bends.
Great video! Maybe you know the answer to this question. The Greenlee 1800, the Current 750, the Lidseen 5100 all bend 1/2" RMC at a radius that is much smaller than specified in Chapter 9 table 2 of the NEC, so the bend would technically would not campily. Why would they make a product that does not follow NEC. Thanks!
Old time electricians bend rigids by hand, they must have arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The way they laid down conduits and cables were like work or art.
Can you use that bender on EMT? My boss has one of those he picked up years ago and I used it to bend 1" emt and almost the entire 90degree bend was flattened. He got it second hand for free, I told him to throw it away because if it can't bend EMT properly we can't use it. Maybe It's intended use is rigid and I'll tell him to keep it around.
@@JoseDiaz-mb9lj 100% says rigid only when you google it. It completely crushed the inside of our bends on 1" emt Funny that my boss held onto it for this long. We never use rigid
The shoes are a different size for rigid vs emt. You can't use one for the other. The OD's are different. That is why you get crushed or kinked bends. It is the same with pipe vs tube bending dies.
@@robbieburns1664 Thanks for answering. The bender was so old all the information was worn all of the bender. A brand new one has "rigid only" on the side.
That's a bad way of marking the conduit. Try extending the rule past the end of the conduit the same amount as the DEDUCT. Then you only need to make one mark. No math or re-measuring required

It’s amazing how simple you make it. Practice makes perfect. As always, keep up the good work.
Thanks I have to use a Chicago bender for my journeyman test and have never used one before. Great video love the tips you provided.
I just started a project with a new contractor. Lots of rigid pipping involved. Thank you for this video.
Great explanation,
Keep doing the awesome work .
Excellent tutorial. I haven't worked with rigid yet, but am glad to have watched your video. Thanks.
Great explanation! Subbed
Kool vid, i have been in the trade for a long time, never used or seen a Chicago bender, Thanks
Awesome video, i certainly did learn a lot. Please keep it up.
Excellent video thBk you so much.verybeasy to understand keep doing it
Awesome job. Thank you
You are great I wish I would have had you as my instructor going through electrical school
Thanks for the video. Much needed for my workshop installation class!
Man you are a good teacher, very clear explanation good job man to U
This video was perfect thank you.
Thank you the for the videos. As an instructor i also use it for my students as review for them great videos !
It has worked wonders! CM
Thank you
Great video!!!
Well done! Been needing a good instruction on this but eveyone does it with a hand bender
Can ypu do a video using protactor for bending pipe
Thank you Sr for passing the knowledge. Can't wait to see the offsets and saddles.
Craig, thanks for sharing!
Great video, thank you sir!
Thank you. I learned a lot. maybe a video on how to thread Rigid conduit next
Can you do a video on measure,cut, then Bend conduit. demonstrate the math then do it hands on. Awesome videos we need more like you out in the field

Awesome video! I would like to see 1- 1/2 and 2 inch!
Thank you!! I would love to be able to do that for you. As I build this channel and my my instructional business I plan to get a Triple Nickel and other types of smart benders. So with that being said I plan to in the future. Thank you for your support!! CM
@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602 you're welcome!
I will like to learn more of the chicago bender .thanks

Great videos
Using a wood tape measure helps so the tape measure isn’t bouncing when trying to get your measurements on the pipe.
please go into more detailed bends like saddles, etc.. thank you. Great video
Sadles are hard, I still can't after 4 years
Thanks !

🤔...be sure to ask.. lol
To make a stub can I put the line right under the threads

Awesome bro...🤪⚡
Right on man
Gracias amigo!
Can you do a video on measure cut then bend method with parallel offsets:) awesome video!
How can I contact you directly....I have been bending for many years and this is a first on a 1800...I have a question on the measurement
NICE....
Thanks

In my opinion the Chicago bender is better for rigid and rmc, not Emt because it’s more fragile

Use a sharpie!! Before you install it, remark your points and rub them off. Also works with spray paint on non-porous surfaces...
How we will get this machine? Can you share any contact details for you
I need to see this guy bend 3/4" rigid with a 1 inch hand bender... cap
Been there done that!! So thanks for watching!! CM
Nice video, my instructor would kill me if he saw me using a sharpie.

You are 100% percent incorrect, having two marks for beginners is the rule of thumb.
TY, sir. More Rigid bending , Sir.
don't use a sharpie on pipe, your Forman will get mad
Great video....Thank you sir!
Thanks
