Really appreciate all the work you put into the videos. I’ve watch many of you’re and because of the videos my bending game has improved immensely, Thank you Melvin!
Yes, I know this series is not easy. But once you do learn these 4 videos I promise you it will get easier. Now I have to warn you that if you don't keep practicing these formulas. When it comes down to actually using it you'll be lost. Its even easier to forget.
Does radius of the bend change dependant on the degrees bent? Or is it constant to the bender regardless of degrees?.. Awesome work. Thanks for putting the time into these videos
@@TheArtOfConduitBending So, just for absolute clarification, i would need to measure the "chord" of a 90° bend;then input into the formula to find the radius of the bender for 90°. Subsequently, i would have to measure the "chord" of the 60° bend to find the radius of the bender for 60° and so forth for 30°,22.5°,10°...etc? Thanks for responding so quickly.. i appreciate it greatly!
@@Boosteeen so not exactly as exactly. When you measure the radius of the bender you can measure it in 2 ways that I know of one is measuring it through a 90 degree bend, second is measuring it through a 45 degree bend. The radius of the bender, is the radius of the bender. I'm sure you're able to measure the radius of a bender through other degrees of bends but I don't know the formulas for them. Your just measuring the radius to basically find the developed length so that you know where to make your bends.
@@TheArtOfConduitBending ahh perfect. Think thats the answer i was looking for. "Radius of the bender is the radius of the bender". Thanks a lot! All the best, my guy!
Hi Melvin, when you calculate DL of a bend, do you use center line radius (Radius - 1/2 outside diameter of conduit), or normal radius? I'm curious when you would use one or the other? thanks
look at a 90. place a 90 on a flat surface with the 90 stub facing up towards the ceiling. where the bend starts to lift off the flat surface is the start of bend. now flip the 90 so that the pipe that was on the flat surface is now facing the ceiling. now where that bend starts to lift off the flat surface is the end of bend. I sent you a message on the last comment you sent me and i should have told you that when you are laying the 90 on the flat surface make sure the stub or leg is facing the ceiling hope this helps. please follow me on and subscribe: fb@holmzlaw IG@holmzlaw share with your friends and co-workers
Makes a ton of sense man, I really appreciate your time. Just started my first semester of my apprenticeship and the math is mad confusing. Keep up the great work og
@@TheArtOfConduitBending yep according to resources the middle of pipe has to be accounted for even your drawing show centerline of pipe but keep up great work helps apprentice to grasp concepts of bending

I really should be taking my conduit bending seriously. So Im gonna try (again after being lazy) to watch and understand this entire series.

Hey brother, just want to give you a huge thanks for the time and effort you put your videos. Definitely has helped me a great deal
Thank you. As long as one person finds help in these videos im good.
Appreciate you sharing this knowledge.

Yes it changes depending on degrees. Thanks for watching.

there's no difference from the two
Formula for marking out your arch (from start of bend to the end of bend) on a straight piece of pipe, formula is [Angle of Bend * Radius * 0.017453
What do you usually use to measure the chord? A string?
Just a regular tape measure
So the start of bend is where it starts to rise, and the end of bend is where you placed your initial measurement? Or how is end of bend found?

@@joshuadiaz3329 just let me know when i could help. With whatever. 🙏
great job put in centerline next time and it will be spot on
Centerline radius?

@@sidster64 thank you. And yes you are 100 percent right.
wat up hombre. very informative beco
Wassup killa. Still got same #
@@TheArtOfConduitBending yeah mang holla
