[QUOTE="Barx, post: 434462, member: 121"] Something has been playing on my mind today. Doing a little galv conduit job, something I don't get to do very often so the knowledge sometimes escapes me and I have to have a little revision time. On the job I was trying to show a couplle of the lads how to do it properly without just chucking a bend in and chopping both ends off. I mark up the tube, put into bender and square the mark to front of former expecting it to create a bend (90) with the measurement from the fixed end to the back of bend. The ebd result was more towards the front of the bend. This doesn't seem right to me. I thought it was front of former for back of bend and inside former for front of bend?? Is this a sign of a worn bender? and other ideas of what is going wrong? Maybe I just forgot how to do it lol. My set worked out ok but they didn't rely on a fixed end so to speak. They just all had to be equal sets, which they were... [/QUOTE]
