[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 458531, member: 1408"] I used one at my first job as apprentice , size I think was as yours but I think it was about 7cm thick (3") . The sides of the hole MUST support the sides of your bend , like a Hilmore wheel but it was more oval in height . The hole was straight through with a chamfer facing you . 90deg bends were not too good , mostly used a those awful inspection bends ( This was industry) but the bending block was mainly used for double sets . You needed to bend the tube in small increments . After 3 years I moved from industry to contracting and found the wonders of the Hilmore pipe bender . Whats the next project ? Fixings with a Rawlplug jumper bit .? Resurrecting the wind up Megger ? Using tallow to lubricate conduit threading and cooling Enox Cutter Blades ? Threading your own nipples and cutting round edge locknuts from 3/4" couplers ? [/QUOTE]
