zman Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I had to admit I was retarded when it came to bending EMT conduit. I have not been good at it, and finally got some help to learn how to get bent in a better way.I have never seen a tutorial on How To bend conduit, so I came up with this one. I hope it helps someone out there who was as "challenged" as I was doing this.http://www.woodinvillewonderland.com/images/EMT_Bending.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zman Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Dave, funny you mention that. Pete Peters, one of the contributors actually stated that a video would be great. Now, I think he was somewhat busin my chops because if you know anything about me or my display, I am video challenged too. Long running joke.

magish01 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I thought the easiest way to bend EMT is give it to Jim and have him use it on his megatree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzaas Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Problem with the way Jim bends EMT is that you can't pull wire through it when he's done :lol:Poor Jim, I don't think he's ever going to live that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zman Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 When you are using almost an entire EMT stick, as you get to the last few bends, there is no leverage to make the bend. So you have to insert a smaller diameter pipe as a lever. Pretty important. Page 12 was updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zman Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I modified this How-To slightly. I found myself in need of bending some larger diameter circles so I posted a new update to this information.
