[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 44763, member: 1524"] Practice makes perfect. When doing your dog legs it's very easy to end up with the final end being offline so watch this when you replace the conduit into the bender. You will need to over-bend each bend because it will spring back slightly. When finished it's better to have an underbend than an overbend though, as you can continue to create the bend, but it's more awkward to straighten a bend. Thread cutting can also be a pain to start if the conduit isn't cut straight. I found that a small chamfer on the edge helps to locate the die. Oh and some of this Pray may help. [/QUOTE]
