"I agree this could have been formatted better. Aside from the opening paragraph title "DUIT - Conduit Bender," there isn't much to suggest what it is until after the images.Had I known it was going to be published exactly how I submitted it (I copied and pasted it from my website, which also shows more context images), I would have reorganized it. Thanks for the appreciation, though!"

"And while I agree bending conduit is not a hard concept to grasp, this does minimize the learning curve.My question then, do you think this would be an option better to have, or better left off?"

"This was based on several focus groups involving electricians from all range of experience, as well as personal experience as an HVAC installer. The newest electrician (had been in the profession for less than a year) was enthusiastic about such an innovation, the older and more experienced guys were admittedly less than enthused."

"There is a rail on the side of the bender that withstands force of the bend (not too clearly shown in the images). The swing-arm wouldn't take any of the force, if that's what you're thinking would fail.As for flattening the pipe, this is the way existing benders work.. so there shouldn't be any issue there."
