How to cut and thread steel conduit - Apprentice electrician essentials

[@andysims4906]

I was always taught you put the cutting compound on with your finger ,how times have changed.. My stocks and conduit bender are at least 60 years old and probably more .i wonder how long these shinny new ones would last on site. Very good video by the way ,thanks for posting

[@raychambers3646]

I used to put two threads on ,then do the filing then thread compound, this prevents clogging files up with compound and filings ,apart from using grips the wrong way nice vid as usual.

I was using screwed tube in 1963 threw all my stuff away last year didn't bother in 63 with cutting compound in those days everyone used cheapo lard just as good

Excellent work there, although you might want to use the pipe grips in the other direction or even get a set of 9 inch Footprint pipe grips 🔧

Excellent! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'm wondering if you could share "How to construct a conduit wiring system from scratch. This should show the 1st, 2nd & 3rd fix. Many thanks again.

I would also make sure there is no swarf in the conduit by holding it upright and allowing any more swarf to fall out

[@davey6024]

Whoever made that little blue stock and die kit first should be charging royalties to everyone else who makes it now. I'm sure it's the only type you can buy in the world cos its the only one iv ever seen over 20 years of doing this 🤣

Didn’t give the stocks and dies a bang on the side of the bender to clear them out , didn’t wipe inside conduit and used grips wrong way round 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️😂😂😂

[@ja_adam_]

There is no wrong way round to use grips.. it works the same

[@cj-rb8fz]

@@ja_adam_ there’s a correct way ,🤦🏼‍♂️the moveable lever goes at the bottom that way the more you squeeze the levers together the tighter it gets as you turn the grips

[@ja_adam_]

@@cj-rb8fz it did the job the exact same ? The coupler wasn’t loose? What advantage would it have given in that exact situation?

Can I ask why you wold prefer a high speed steel hacksaw blade to Bi-metal. Also I thought you should be sawing as close to the vice as possible. Keep up the good work.

[@sergiofernandez3725]

High speed steel hacksaw blade to Bi-metal blade preference could certainly be explained better.

[@thoughtful_criticiser]

Cutting close to the vice stops movement caused by vibrations when cutting such thin walled pipes.

When would you ever want to hand thread rigid when cordless pony threader are readily available

When your starting out it’s best to learn the basics

[@elijahwaggoner545]

@@efixx I get it you want to learn the basic way of doing things but this is a little bit past the point of inefficient even for fresh hands
