Question, for the 3rd mark added on the conduit being 7 1/4” away from the first mark made; is that measurement the actual width of the obstruction? And if it is, is the 3/4” shrinkage factor applied to the width of the obstruction as well? Or is it not added? The first mark is distance to obstruction plus 3/4” so it’d make sense to add 3/4” to the width of the obstruction right or no?
@evrlastngcherry77272 ай бұрын
The other half comes off the other side of the pipe so you only add it to your overall length, but you don't need a mark on the pipe for it

@Sparky Channel: Could you do a show on how properly air bend 3/4" conduit. It's pretty difficult and FAILED HARD on 3/4". I tried doing this several times with 3/4" conduit, and messed up each time. The last time, the conduit and bender slipped in the air and I got injured badly. Both my left little finger and my left big toe got seriously SMASHED when it cut loose. Enough so they both turned black and I'm losing my fingernail and my toenail now..

Klein should make tape measures with the back side having essential conduit info, concentric bend formula, ohms law etc but skip the inch measurements on the back. Also tape measures need to be slightly compact not a big block. They need magnets on the ends that won't break off.
@Patrick-kickass3 жыл бұрын
I have a question. You have your first marked 33’7/8” because of there is a 3/4” shrinking this one I understand. However why don’t we add another 3/4” on the other side? So that should make 1’1/2” shrinkage in total.
@zacuhdelic3 жыл бұрын
The other 3/4 of shrinkage wouldnt appear until after the second set of bends. If he only did the first offset there would only be a 3/4 difference from the original length of the pipe. The distance you have to cross over your obstruction won’t grow or shrink so the center point of the bends should be a constant. I’m not sure if that made complete sense. I’ll think about it and try to figure out a better way to word it
@paulherlichka68622 жыл бұрын
For the 3rd mark, it’s the distance across the obstruction minus shrinkage?
