This is a step by step instructional video on how to use a Chicago Bender to bend a stub 90. Its a small introduction to how it works.
The Bender I used in this video is a GREENLEE 1800 Mechanical Bender.
You can get more info from greenlee.com if you choose to.
Remember you can always email me at sparkyinstructor@gmail.com I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can and help with answer questions.
Thanks for watching
Have a Great Day and Be Safe
Thanks for the video. Much needed for my workshop installation class!
You are great I wish I would have had you as my instructor going through electrical school
Excellent tutorial. I haven't worked with rigid yet, but am glad to have watched your video. Thanks.
Awesome video, i certainly did learn a lot. Please keep it up.
I just started a project with a new contractor. Lots of rigid pipping involved. Thank you for this video.
Thank you Sr for passing the knowledge. Can't wait to see the offsets and saddles.
Well done! Been needing a good instruction on this but eveyone does it with a hand bender
Great explanation, Keep doing the awesome work .
Craig, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video thBk you so much.verybeasy to understand keep doing it
Kool vid, i have been in the trade for a long time, never used or seen a Chicago bender, Thanks
Man you are a good teacher, very clear explanation good job man to U
I found it to be a little TOO in depth, but I do appreciate that the video was intended for people totally unfamiliar with it. I just got a greenlee 1800 and didn't know where I was supposed to put my mark against the bender. Lol. You answered my questions sir.
Thank you the for the videos. As an instructor i also use it for my students as review for them great videos !
It has worked wonders! CM
Awesome job. Thank you
This video was perfect thank you.
Thank you. I learned a lot. maybe a video on how to thread Rigid conduit next
Great video, thank you sir!
Can you do a video on measure,cut, then Bend conduit. demonstrate the math then do it hands on. Awesome videos we need more like you out in the field
Great explanation! Subbed
Great video!!!
Great videos
Can you do a video on measure cut then bend method with parallel offsets:) awesome video!
I will like to learn more of the chicago bender .thanks
Awesome bro...🤪⚡
Right on man
Thanks !
please go into more detailed bends like saddles, etc.. thank you. Great video
Sadles are hard, I still can't after 4 years
Awesome video! I would like to see 1- 1/2 and 2 inch!
Thank you!! I would love to be able to do that for you. As I build this channel and my my instructional business I plan to get a Triple Nickel and other types of smart benders. So with that being said I plan to in the future. Thank you for your support!! CM
@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602 you're welcome!
NICE....
Thanks
To make a stub can I put the line right under the threads
Hi, dear Craig Michaud, the instructor. I myself I always use sharpies all the time on metallic conduits, emt, rigid, even cantrust. Have you ever tried passing back on your mark with a sharpie and rubbing the wet ink marking with a glove ? For it erase like 99%of the mark after I done my bends.
Great video! Maybe you know the answer to this question. The Greenlee 1800, the Current 750, the Lidseen 5100 all bend 1/2" RMC at a radius that is much smaller than specified in Chapter 9 table 2 of the NEC, so the bend would technically would not campily. Why would they make a product that does not follow NEC. Thanks!
🤔...be sure to ask.. lol
Old time electricians bend rigids by hand, they must have arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The way they laid down conduits and cables were like work or art.
Use a sharpie!! Before you install it, remark your points and rub them off. Also works with spray paint on non-porous surfaces...
How can I contact you directly....I have been bending for many years and this is a first on a 1800...I have a question on the measurement
Can you use that bender on EMT? My boss has one of those he picked up years ago and I used it to bend 1" emt and almost the entire 90degree bend was flattened. He got it second hand for free, I told him to throw it away because if it can't bend EMT properly we can't use it. Maybe It's intended use is rigid and I'll tell him to keep it around.
In my opinion the Chicago bender is better for rigid and rmc, not Emt because it’s more fragile
@@JoseDiaz-mb9lj 100% says rigid only when you google it. It completely crushed the inside of our bends on 1" emt Funny that my boss held onto it for this long. We never use rigid
The shoes are a different size for rigid vs emt. You can't use one for the other. The OD's are different. That is why you get crushed or kinked bends. It is the same with pipe vs tube bending dies.
@@robbieburns1664 Thanks for answering. The bender was so old all the information was worn all of the bender. A brand new one has "rigid only" on the side.
Using a wood tape measure helps so the tape measure isn’t bouncing when trying to get your measurements on the pipe.
TY, sir. More Rigid bending , Sir.
I need to see this guy bend 3/4" rigid with a 1 inch hand bender... cap
Been there done that!! So thanks for watching!! CM
Nice video, my instructor would kill me if he saw me using a sharpie.
How we will get this machine? Can you share any contact details for you
That's a bad way of marking the conduit. Try extending the rule past the end of the conduit the same amount as the DEDUCT. Then you only need to make one mark. No math or re-measuring required
You are 100% percent incorrect, having two marks for beginners is the rule of thumb.
don't use a sharpie on pipe, your Forman will get mad
Gracias amigo!
Thanks
