[RE-wrenches] Conduit Bending

[Ray]

I usually do the bend and cut method, because it really is faster and 
EMT is cheap.  Look how much time you are already cooking doing research 
and exploring various apps, etc?  I too have wanted to be the cool pro, 
and bend to exact measurements, but alas, the sun is setting much sooner 
now, and I need to get the job done. Also, I recently picked up a nifty 
reamer attachment that chucks up in a cordless drill and finishes the 
cut end nicely.  Between that and my porta band saw,  the bend and cut 
method is faster and the finished job is just as good.  Actually I just 
switched to Metal Clad 6-3 for my PV runs, and it seems better as well.

I look forward to hearing what other more accomplished conduit smiths 
have to offer, though.
